After a successful collection process, during which we visited more than 100 parks and held countless discussions with recreation staff, we are ready for negotiations for a new CLA. You have overwhelmingly communicated what is important for this new CLA, thank you for that!
The message is clear: need for growth
The message is clear: there is a need for growth. Growth in employment conditions, reduced workload, and more colleagues on the work floor. Because recreation deserves to be seen, and it should become even more visible how wonderful this sector actually is. A sector that thrives on dedicated staff who care for their guests day and night with heart and soul.
First round of negotiations postponed
Our commitment to the new CLA has been coordinated with the CLA committee and is ready. Unfortunately, the first negotiation date has been postponed. Why, you can read here: New CLA Recreation – HISWA-RECRON takes a break.
Continuing dialogue is crucial
We understand that many employers are currently facing uncertainties and challenges. But that is precisely why it is important to keep talking together. Only by sitting down at the table can we come to solutions that offer a future for both companies and employees.
Therefore, we call on employers to come to the table on 17 November and continue the conversation. Standing still is not an option. For employees, postponement means regression, especially in times of high inflation and increasing workload.
Time for a modern CLA
Moreover, it is time to modernise the CLA on several points. Not only because of legislative changes, but especially because the sector is changing and employees have different needs. The CLA must adapt so that it becomes future-proof, fair, and appropriate for the work that recreation staff proudly do every day.
Moving forward together
In short: the time is ripe to take steps together. For a strong and modern CLA, a healthy sector, and appreciation for everyone who keeps this industry running!
