When drawing up collective labor agreement proposals for professional freight transport, you might not immediately think of a commuting allowance and a home working arrangement.
Not everyone covered by this collective labor agreement is a driver. More than 60.000 people who also fall under this collective labor agreement perform a different function (for example, a planner, purchaser or administrator). Reason enough to address the home working arrangement.
Working from home is a form of “time and place free working”, we used to call it the New Way of Working. It is a sustainable employability instrument to enable you to achieve your state pension in a healthy way. De Unie strongly supports this. It is not only pleasant for the employee, but also cost-effective for the employer. Moreover, various studies have shown that people who work independently of place and time (including working from home) are more productive! There is a lot of unfamiliarity in this area and perhaps because of that cold water fear among employers. De Unie would like to discuss this with your employer, do you think that is a good idea? Working from home has now become known mainly due to corona.
We also want to use the daily expense allowance proposed by the NIBUD (this has just been increased to 3 euros per day). It seems reasonable to us that the employer may set off the expense allowance for working from home with the travel allowance for commuting. After all, they are no longer made.
Compensation for commuting should be normal right?! Which brings me to the second topic. The current collective labor agreement does not include a commuting scheme. This subject has been on the agenda for years, but unfortunately no agreements have ever been made by the parties to the collective agreement. Partly in view of the sharp rise in fuel prices, De Unie place this subject high on the agenda during the coming negotiations with the aim of reaching a collective agreement on this now.
Even now I would like to hear what you think.
