On Monday, 17 April 2023, employees, employers, and clients engaged in discussions during the conference 'Catering and hospitality: staying on course together' about how the agreements from the CLA catering/hospitality are being implemented in practice. It was an inspiring day with informative sessions, good conversations, and valuable insights!
What next?
During the conference, much was discussed about how the sector should further develop in terms of employment conditions, but also topics such as image, Your career and training, and communication between the shop floor and management were central. Broadly speaking, it became clear that the connection and involvement between employers and employees need improvement. This will need to happen through more open communication, seeing and understanding each other. In the coming period, all the input gathered during the conference will be further developed. Social partners will use this input during the CLA negotiations later this year.
Organisation
The conference was organised by industry partners Veneca, VOC Cateraars, CNV Vakmensen, De Unie, and FNV Catering and was led by the day's chairman Harry Glotzbach. Speakers included Ard van der Steur - Veneca, Michiel van der Eijk - KCS, Roy Odekerken - VOCC, Inga Blokker - FSIN, and staff members Marisa Kleinee and Peter Stoute. Thanks to contributions from both employees, employers, and clients, it was a success.
