We negotiated 6 rounds in good harmony with the employer about the conditions for a collective labor agreement for 2023. It was not easy. There is high inflation, high energy prices, tightness on the labor market and, at the same time, a competitive position and the continuity of a company that is important. All these aspects had to be taken into account. On Thursday 17 November, this led to a concrete proposal from Arcadis that could be submitted.

The improved bid
On November 28, we presented Arcadis' proposal to the joint members' meeting, which made a clear call to improve the offer.
We discussed this together with the other unions during the consultation of
Returned December 1. Together with the employer, we looked for space and creativity to improve the proposal. Arcadis listened and improved the offer taking into account members' comments.
- The term has been shortened from 18 to 15 months.
- There has been a structural increase over time.
- The one-off payment of 500 euros in 2024 has been changed to a monthly contribution of 50 euros per month in proportion to the employment for the entire year 2023.
- The collective labor agreement stipulates that Arcadis also values employee participation from the trade unions and facilities are made available to make the path to the trade unions accessible to Arcadis employees.
