Negotiations start for collective agreement for ambulance staff

Netherlands

Staffing levels will be a priority for the negotiations over a new agreement in the ambulance sector.

Netherlands

Unions are disappointed that the employers have suspended negotiations over the new collective agreement covering ambulance workers. With a restructuring of the sector the employers and unions agreed to negotiate a single agreement for the sector to replace a number of different agreements. Unions thought that it would be possible to announce that a new agreement was ready on 1 September but now the employers have raised concerns over two issues – redundancy pay and second careers (this is the career that ambulance workers might switch to once they are too old for active duty.
