De Unie at Retail Non-Food
The collective labor agreement “Retail Non-Food” applies from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. Do you work for a company that generates the majority of its turnover from the sale of products other than food or drinks? Then there is a good chance that this collective labor agreement applies to you!
Working in or for a retail company is a great profession. A profession that is on the move and therefore demands more and more from you. Not only with regard to knowledge about the products, but also of your flexibility in the broadest sense of the word. Competition has increased considerably, partly due to the growth of web shops. In addition, customers nowadays visit a store much more for the experience and for the service they want to receive.
To adapt to this development, employees and retailers must change from salesperson to ambassador of a store or a brand. That is good for the customers, good for turnover and therefore also good for you!
De Unie is convinced that employees only want and can become ambassadors for a store or brand if they like their working environment. Good, modern and flexible working conditions are essential for such a pleasant working environment. Therefore explains De Unie the emphasis on this during the collective labor agreement negotiations. But also with the initiatives in your industry for this - together with De Unie - are deployed.
