With this final offer, the sector, in this time of staff shortages and high workload, will get what it needs.

Johan Bijlsma, union representative FNV Recreation: “The employees in recreation deserve an increase in their remuneration for their efforts and hard work in recent years, also due to the sharply rising costs caused by inflation.
