On Monday, 22 June, employees at Schiphol will come together to take action against the government's plans to cut back on the WW, WIA, and AOW. The demonstration at Schiphol marks the start of a nationwide week of action against these deteriorations in social security.
Less security for employees
The government intends to make significant cuts to social schemes. For instance, the WW will be shorter, benefits for illness and incapacity will be reduced, and the AOW age will be raised further.
These plans directly affect employees. Those who lose their jobs will soon have less entitlement to a WW benefit. Employees who become ill or incapacitated will also face less protection.
Major consequences for Schiphol workers
These schemes are particularly important for employees at Schiphol. The aviation sector is constantly changing, and many staff members perform physically demanding work. A strong social safety net offers security when work disappears or when someone cannot work due to illness. The proposed cuts lead to more uncertainty and less protection for employees.
Make your voice heard
Employees across the country are therefore taking action. On Monday, 22 June, Schiphol workers will demonstrate that a strong social safety net remains important for everyone who works. Do you work at Schiphol? Then come to the demonstration and make your voice heard.
