Recreation workers agree to new CLA recreation

The members of FNV Recreation have agreed to the final offer that HISWA-RECRON previously made for a new CLA recreation for the whole of 2024 and 2025. Recreation employees - members and non-members - were able to cast their vote on this in the past period: nearly 85% of the votes cast were positive. This means a new CLA recreation with retroactive effect from 1 January 2024.

Johan Bijlsma, union representative FNV Recreation: "The support of our members for the new CLA shows that they consider it essential for the sector, especially in this time of staff shortages and high workload."

New CLA highlights:

• A 2-year CLA
• Increase youth wages scale 1 Jan 2024 (derived from 100% WML):
  20 years: 85%
  19 years: 75%
  18 years: 70%
  17 years and younger: 65%
• Minimum travel allowance: 10-40 km €0.12 per km from 1 July 2024
• A broad protocol provision on the salary structure with topics: levelling differences in maximum scales, freedom of choice in increments, future salary structure with increasing WML, salary structure hospitality (and pension fund perspective) and introduction of new job classification. This provision will be completed in 2024.
