In this message we inform you about the negotiations for a new collective labor agreement for Health Insurers and the upcoming pension information from the SBZ pension fund.
CLA negotiations
Just a summary of where we are now and when we will continue with the negotiations for a new collective labor agreement. On April 16, 2024, the employers' delegation and trade union officials, led by an external chairman, started exploring the collective labor agreement process. The themes that will be discussed in the collective labor agreement negotiations were then identified. From de Uniemembers have raised issues around the themes of employment conditions & labor relations, employability, work/life balance & workload, sustainability and the work of trade unions. Employers have raised issues such as work pressure and the attachment of pensions in the collective labor agreement.
The concrete commitment for the new collective labor agreement was then collected from the supporters. The commitment letter from De Unie was discussed during the first round of negotiations on May 14, 2024. See the report for this Health insurers: The commitment for the new collective labor agreement is on the table! – De Unie. The second round of negotiations took place on May 27, 2024 and the employer proposals were also announced.
