Op Wednesday 27 March 2024 heeft De Unie again collective labor agreement negotiations lined with UWV. We to have about a large number subjects spoken. Whereby we mostly asked questions to have posed om each other better te understand.
Various visions
En although talk en each other to attempt te understand always good yeah, stands for dit did not that we can make it easy each other once to go Worden. The Union and UWV onderhandelen from very various visions. The Union strives to working conditions can narrow connect at the to wish which we love our January horen. Terms and conditions of employment; by which UWV late see that they value the employees and employees pleasure in their work give or that they help out have an updated work even better te do. UWV handelt from a More overall vision on the future from UWV. This is In summary onder de denominators: Simplicity, Ordered before everybody en Sustainability.
Focus about this de negotiations
What De Unie concerns are there two important subjects those in the coming dog good regularly moeten are:
- Structural raise
- Job evaluation
Structural salary increase
De Unie wants to agree on a salary increase that will at least keep up with inflation. And we want to achieve an improvement in purchasing power, because it has been a long time since UWV employees have improved in purchasing power. This means that we want to agree on a structural salary increase of 6% for all employees. As far as we are concerned, the effective date is May 1, 2024 and the term of the collective labor agreement is 12 months. This would show that UWV appreciates the efforts and involvement of its employees.
The voorstel of UWV is the salaries te to increase with 3,7% per 1 July 2024. It voorstel from UWV contains also a second raise in July 2025. This elevation is a compensation length duration that UWV wants appointments. The members of De Unie to have explicit distinct identity. a duration of maximum 12 maanden te want to.
Job evaluation
De Union heeft in the proposal letter a procedural proposal included about this topic. many January to have herself reported to cause of our call to give your opinion give about the layout of your function† We are nu in process groups of Staff members te form can semen with De Unie can do the job. However, in consultation with UWV, we still have to take many steps to reach agreement on job evaluation.
Other proposals are also important
We have made more proposals that are important to our members. UWV has now responded substantively to all our proposals. On a number introduce from U.S is by UWV positive responded, or we to make good progress in the consultation.
Parental leave: Us voorstel to salary during parental leave fully by Pay is by UWV taken over.
Social plan: Us voorstel to social plan to extend it is also taken over. UWV also wants to extend the social plan study agreement. This study concerns a joint investigation into modernization of the social plan.
Home workplace: We have indicated that we do not agree with the elaboration of this arrangement. Our objection concerns both the reimbursement obligation and too high prices and limited options. We are having a good discussion about this subject. UWV does have a current contract that cannot be terminated unilaterally, we must take this into account during the consultation.
Courses: This topic will probably be moved to the periodic consultation.
Retirement: This topic is by us preventive on the agenda put. If we have a collective labor agreement to agree immediately duration to 30 April 2025 then we have to go this collective labor agreement none pension agreement te to make† We working in a separately consultation semen with UWV on the new pension plan.
But there are also subjects around we still little progress to have made.
Travel allowance: From discussion about the travel allowance is lined along two lines, height of the compensation and it number travelled kilometers that is compensate. The reaction from UWV on this is that sustainability about this UWV very important is. UWV must from 1 July 2024 CO2 reports to hand in en demonstrate given by emissions active is pushed back. UWV therefore actively strives to get people out of their cars by offering sufficient resources to choose CO2 neutral travel options.
Hybrid work: As far as we are concerned, it is logical to strengthen the rights of employees to work from home. Not everyone lives close to the office or in an area with good public transport. The most CO2 profit books UWV as this Staff members did not forced Worden te journey if it about this their job did not necessary is. Bee many UWV parts is going the good, but there are also parts around the number mandatory office days increases.
work: We to have suggested a study out to feed or at UWV possible en suitable is to Staff members to stand for during work abroad for part of the year. Already make you name it possible om following to the holiday two weeks longer te stay whereby je during the day, on line werkt.
UWV wants here not appointments over to make, she to provide mainly problems en objections† We to have replied that the Union therefore correct a study wil to carry out.
May 5: We to have suggested to each year (and thus did not alleen in the lustrum years) May 5 as Bank holiday te to celebrate. We to have UWV a overview sent of a list with industries and businesses can in here a example are. The concerns More than 100 collective labor agreements among which the central government collective labor agreement and the Municipal collective labor agreement. We received the answer that UWV already has enough days off. This is what us concerns not good answer, we can not be purchased Wed did not introduce that UWV the last organization wil are who wants the importance of May 5th underline.
RVU: The RVU makes the de employer possible om Staff members can voluntarily early with retirement to go for this An (limited) compensation te Pay. This fiscal grant runs down to 31 December 2025. UWV gives that this did not fits UWV because er many vacancies his and it problematic is to this in te to fill. Moreover, it is policy from UWV correct om Staff members fit and vital te to hold† This is a repetition from the previous one collective labor agreement negotiations.
Connecting on this heeft De Union brought in good appointments te want to to make th purpose of employees after reaching retirement age Age by want to working. Also this is why is by many January wanted. This is also according to UWV did not necessary.
Workload: UWV gives to this not collective labor agreement subject te how we can help your about this collective labor agreement.
36houry working week: UWV wants here not appointments over to make because this will suffer to More vacancies can because of probably the labor market problems did not entered can not be purchased Worden.
Conclusion
Possible on parts De Unie make agreements with UWV. But we are not yet there on the most important topics, structural salary increases and job evaluation. Other topics that we have proposed have also not yet been satisfactorily answered. Much still needs to be done. The collective labor agreement negotiations will continue on April 17.
