Today, seasonal workers at Walibi, together with De Horecabond, are taking action for fair and equal employment conditions. They no longer accept being structurally treated worse than colleagues with year-round contracts.
Seasonal workers do not build up a pension, receive lower wages, and get less travel allowance. While they perform the same work and are indispensable to the park, they are unequally rewarded. For many seasonal workers, enough is enough.
De Horecabond has repeatedly requested Walibi to engage in discussions about this. Unfortunately, Walibi refuses to continue the dialogue with De Horecabond regarding the situation. The adjustments made so far are limited and do not apply to all seasonal workers. Therefore, employees are now taking action.
Visible support during the holidays
Today, Walibi employees, together with De Horecabond, are handing out Christmas chocolates to visitors, asking them to give these to seasonal workers. This way, visitors show that they too believe everyone is entitled to decent employment conditions, especially during this busy period.
Call to Walibi
De Horecabond calls on Walibi to take responsibility and resume discussions with De Horecabond in the short term. As long as this does not happen, we do not rule out further actions.
De Horecabond fights for:
- a fair pension
- equal travel allowance
- equal pay for equal work, according to the CLA hospitality
- more structural security
