De Unie at Shell
Shell colleagues recently took the initiative - with the support of De Unie – Induce Shell to substantially and fundamentally improve the wages of people outside the collective labor agreement. Unfortunately, this has so far not led to concrete results.
What is it about again?
Firstly, it concerns those outside the collective labor agreement, whose salary has barely increased over the past 14 years. That is an issue, especially now that inflation has been solid for a year. We believe that Shell should take a firm step in this regard.
The second important point is the current merit structure. There are more companies that have a merit structure similar to that of Shell. This often includes an increase with the CPI or the derived CPI as a fixed component as a fixed component. That is not the case at Shell. In both situations, such a salary structure always leads to dissatisfaction among non-CAO workers, because collectively agreed wages usually rise faster than the salaries of non-CAO workers. In addition, Shell does not apply the merit structure for non-CAO employees in the same way everywhere. For example, your employer applies the merit for Sales differently than for non-Sales employees.
We believe that an equal growth of the basic salary for everyone (collective labor agreement, extra-collective labor agreement, Sales) is fairer. The assessment cycle is there to differentiate in wage growth on a personal level. In addition, a salary that consists more of fixed components and less of variable components gives the employee more peace of mind and gives him/her more opportunities in social interaction (for example when buying a house). We therefore advocate that Shell review the current salary structure for non-CAO employees.
What now?
In any case, it is very important for now that we show Shell that we mean business. The more employees join De Unie, the more expressiveness our message will have. In the meantime, we are working with the initiators on a strategy to change Shell's mind.
