Dear colleague,
With this message we would like to take the opportunity to ask you to become a member of a labor union (of the AOB, CNV, FNV). Your membership is urgently needed, right now!
In spring of 2023, the executive boards of the Dutch Universities and the unions will be negotiating our new Collective Labour Agreement (CLA). The unions are representing us, the employees, in this negotiation for better working conditions. If you are a member of the union, you will have a right to vote for or against the negotiated proposal for the CLA (you will receive an email to vote).
Increasing our salaries will be an important point of negotiation and needs urgent attention in times of accelerating economic inflation. However, we, and many other university workers with us, think that other issues are also crucial to the new agreement.
Temporary contracts (the so-called "flexibele schil") are being used to maintain unfair working conditions and overwork, both for temporary and permanent staff members. We need a hard formulation, in the CLA to decrease the number of temporary staff members. Structural work needs permanent contracts.
Changes in pension agreements sorely need more oversight from those that are most affected by these changes - which means you! As the experience of our colleagues in the UK shows, universities and pensions managers will use every weapon at their disposal - including your inaction.
Our new Collective Labour Agreement needs to ensure good working conditions, for all!
We would like to ask colleagues with permanent contracts to show their solidarity with colleagues on temporary contracts. If the negotiated CAO proposal is inadequate or vague, we need to massively reject it and send our executive boards back to the negotiation table.
Time’s up, get ready for action. Become a union member, today.

(Membership too expensive? Keep in mind that part of your membership costs, around 40%, will be reimbursed to you at the end of each calendar year by your university, which means total costs will be between 8 and 12 euro per month)
