What happens to the social plan?
The current social plan expires on December 31, 2025. Due to the potential relocation of the headquarters to the US, you will understand that this is a significant concern. Therefore, trade unions have entered into discussions with Aegon and the Works Council to make agreements about the process. At the request of the trade unions, it has been agreed that Works Council members may participate in the negotiations. This provides a sounding board that brings their expertise from the organization. We have also agreed that the social plan and collective bargaining agreement negotiations will be separated, and that the social plan will have priority. The collective bargaining agreement negotiations will therefore follow the social plan negotiations. If you have any suggestions for the new social plan to be negotiated, please let the representative know. You can find here the latest changes. The complete social plan can be found here.
When do collective labor agreement negotiations start?
The social plan is a priority, but collective bargaining agreement negotiations will also take place this year. We will be announcing the schedule, our efforts, and, of course, the members' assessment of what is important in the new collective bargaining agreement soon.
