The second major strike at Nedcar since VDL of the toko of the destruction has been saved. Why?!
Do you still remember, how Holland’s only independent carmaker in 2012 was rescued by MINI, and Wim van der Leegte with VDL Groep? How half Born without a job would get stuck if the car factory after the departure of Mitsubishi in the bottle went. However, workers in the same factory have today responded to a call from trade unions FNV and CNV to 24 hours work to put down. We had somewhere in the vain hope that it is a massaprotest was to fact that MINI is the rear lights of the new Clubman had messed up, but that was not the case. They are fighting for a better collective labour agreement in the metalworking industry. Just like in 2013. The employees of DAF Trucks, gave also hearing, according to ED.nl and produce today a lot less.
VDL Nedcar confirms that, since today no MINI’s more of the band reels in Born. FNV-director Janny Koppens says that there are about 500 VDL Nedcar employees have responded to the call, which there is too little manpower for its production today to resume. Werkwilligen are therefore sent home.
Wim van der Leegte says disappointed. He would yesterday on an attempt at reconciliation have been made:
“I’ve done my best, and love with it”
Classic Wim. The sobriety itself.
The unions demands if since the beginning of this year a salary increase of 3 percent, and insist that employees more control over their working hours. Employers were not in them, making this already the fifth stakingsweek is in the metals sector, which is now also VDL touch. The less combative unions to know that they are in september more strikes want to do up.
BMW and MINI have not yet commented on the strikes. Who are probably busy with the investigation of the work ethic in other parts of the world. Read: anywhere except Western Europe, where car manufacturers in the last few years with bushes close.
But FNV ain’t care. Who stand today in the lovely sunshine VDL-employees feel that their dues to the trade union makes sense.
