We keep moving

11-03-2026

In the catering sector, we are not standing still. It may seem that way because the news sometimes takes a while to arrive. That's why we would like to share what has happened since the new year.

The CLA parties, including us, are currently working on the new CLA texts. That may sound simple, but every change must be carefully coordinated between the different parties.

In addition to these tasks, we answer questions from members, visit companies, and prepare for new discussions with employers.

In the negotiation result, it was agreed that we would sit down together again as soon as possible in the new year. These discussions will focus on the future of the CLA catering. We will also discuss the proposed transition of some employers to the CLA hospitality and how we can continue to safeguard the Updates working conditions for employees.

You might be thinking: it's already mid-March. That's correct. Therefore, we have already invited employers to start the discussions shortly. Many employers have already responded, and we are now scheduling the first meetings. Fortunately, in previous rounds of talks, we have already discussed wishes and expectations for 2027. So, we are not starting entirely from scratch.

In the coming period, we expect to be able to tell you more about the progress. We will do this through our online channels, but also by visiting the workplace.

Do you and your colleagues need an explanation at your workplace? Please feel free to invite us via bestuurders@dehorecabond.nl.

See you soon!
