Drinks industry: Input requested for the new collective labour agreement

28 August 2026

On 24 August 2026, an informal consultation took place between the employers and the trade unions. During this consultation, the parties discussed subjects such as job evaluation, the scope of the collective labour agreement and the start of the collective labour agreement negotiations.

On 1 October there will be an informal and exploratory meeting. On 29 October the collective labour agreement negotiations begin.

Stake

As usual, De Unie bases its efforts regarding the new collective agreement on the wishes of its members. So please let our representative representative, Tommy Piccirillo, know what changes you would like to see in the new collective agreement and which provisions you think should be retained. New ideas are always welcome. Please email your suggestions by 29 September 2026 to tommy.piccirillo@unie.nl. This helps in drafting a good opening letter for the new drinks wholesale collective labour agreement.
