Op 31 2024 inquired I tell you about the reaction from Shell on our petition. Shell sees not wide role about this De Union om structural appointments te to make about this de development of the employment conditions of the outside collective labor agreements† We to have since did not sitting still.
What is since happened?
In previous newsletter it is indicated that Mrs. michon, Shell's VP HR, three of our executives HAD invited about this a conversation on 13 February 2024 with her and the new CEO, Frans Everts. In reaction on the uitnodiging paranormal gifts we indicate that we onder conditions yes in conversation wild ones.
The conditions were that the Union would Participate to the conversation and that we with three others executives wanted to join the conversation. The invited executives working namely all of them at Shell Pernis. We wild ones a better representation of our rank and file. Us voorstel of the representation therefore a executive van Pernis, a executive of The Hague and a executive of the NAM.
The conversation of 13 February is did not continued† It is moved to Tuesday 12 March 2024.
Since 31 the representative, Hans Korver, has met our executives a number meal om panel seated. Ten first around comments te discuss on the wage increase that Shell start February heeft announced about this de outside collective labor agreements. Our executives to have can comments gauged on the locations around ze working. The comments are actually in two groups te to divide.
Most non-collective agreement employees in Botlek are moderately satisfied with the wage increase that Shell has in store for them. A large part of outside collective labor agreements can did not in the botlek working, are did not satisfied. Mostly because Shell a difference makes in wage increase between de botlek and the rest of The Netherlands. Therefore are there are Shell BVs whereby de highest collective labor agreement pay scales de lower outside collective labor agreement wage scales to have caught up. Thereby is coming that there is Shell locations are whereby de outside collective labor agreements begin at JG6, but there are also locations whereby de outside collective labor agreements al begin at JG8. Also that difference pinches.
Our executives to have on the others locations then the Botlek the vote further gauged. Out of there turns out that there is also one part of outside collective labor agreements somewhat satisfied is with the wage increase that Shell implements. And at the population can did not satisfied yeah, exists long did not at everybody de willingness om active can dissatisfaction te express. For instance because the feeling lives that this consequences can to have about this are/her CAREER at Shell.
We are with that in a tricky one situation come. The Union can alleen a fist to make Tegen shell, wanneer Enough January active knowable to make that the Union at panel must com at Shell working conditions te onderhandelen. How we get in this situation now it Best further can go, it is topic of conversation between me and our executive group.
As a first step to have we two weeks ago contact wanted with the COR, to conclude votes Welke roll the COR sees in the to agree of working conditions about this outside collective labor agreements. The COR has stated that it has had no role in this so far and does not foresee any role in the future. Yes, for agreeing on secondary employment conditions, but not for primary employment conditions. The primacy for this lies with the trade unions. An opinion that is supported by legislation, regulations and case law in the Netherlands. The COR has indicated that it will bring the dissatisfaction among those outside the collective labor agreement to the attention of your employer.
On Friday, March 1, 2024, the representative sat down with our executives again to discuss how to proceed. We agreed that the three executives, without De Unie, will start a conversation with Marloes Michon and Frans Everts on March 12. Our executives will highlight the feelings of those outside the collective labor agreement about the wage development of the outside collective labor agreements and the differences that exist within Shell.
Na 12 March the outcome of the conversation is discussed with our executives. Dafter determine we with each other what now the most logical next step is. After we make a decision over to have taken, members will be informed about this.
