Given all the messages on the intranet and the survey, you will not have missed it: the collective bargaining for your collective labor agreement is imminent.
Our first proposals
We have already received a lot of input. Based on this, we have written down a number of proposals for the coming collective labor agreement. We also carefully included the survey results.
- In any case, we want a wage increase equal to the CPI plus 1%. (CPI stands for Consumer Price Index. This is used to measure inflation and shows the price changes of consumer goods and consumer services.)
- Increase the travel expenses schemes by 2 cents and allow them to move in line with the increase in the maximum permitted amount for tax purposes.
- We attach great importance to retaining the RVU scheme as it is now in the collective labor agreement.
- More room for training that is broader than just exercising your current or other position within the CBR.
Arrangements
In addition, there are various regulations here and there. We want to have all of these in one place. Only then can we assess which allowances should be or remain in the collective labor agreement. There is a lot of uncertainty about who is responsible for these schemes. Sometimes the trade unions, sometimes the works council, but sometimes it turns out that employers can change regulations unilaterally just like that. We consider this an undesirable situation. We would like to know from you whether you would like the above points to be included in the letter of proposal as well, but especially which points you would like to have included differently/better or not in the collective labor agreement.
Proposals employer
But there's more. Employers have also submitted a wish list. You can find it on the intranet. We think something about this, but we are much more curious about the opinion. It mainly concerns the following points that the CBR would like to adjust:
- A 37,5-hour full-time working week for everyone. With structural wage compensation for the examiners who now have a somewhat shorter full-time working week;
- extending the opening hours of our locations during the week and on Saturdays, with an extension of the options for arranging your working hours accordingly;
- more control over one's own work schedule in coordination with the planning, the manager and the team; free choice and no obligation to work evenings and Saturdays;
- greater control over the use and payment of other employment conditions such as holiday pay, end-of-year bonus and extra-statutory leave by introducing an Individual Choice Budget (IKB) with the addition of savings leave;
- reduce the current, temporary RVU scheme to an entitlement to one year prior to the state pension age.
These are the main points. If you have an opinion on this, please let us know. Click here to send your comment.

We would like to let the management know how widely supported proposals are. So respond everyone and especially ask your colleague to join De Unie. For everyone who becomes a member this year, the CBR will pay the contribution for a year. You don't have to do anything for that yourself. The CBR does not know that you have become a member, so you do not have to worry about this. This all goes through De Unie. Do you also want a year of free Complete membership click here.
