no Valentines Day flowers for Dutch auction workers!
Strike coming at Dutch flower giant FloraHolland
http://www.iuf.org/w/sites/default/files/floraholland3.jpg
Valentines Day means flower sales, but at the moment there is little love between the auction giant FloraHolland (over 20 million flowers and plants in daily sales!) and the two unions representing the company's thousands of workers, CNV Dienstenbond and FNV Bondgenoten, who will hold a 24-hour warning strike beginning on the evening of February 7. SEND A MESSAGE TO FLORALHOLLAND! (http://iuf.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e788a43ccacc225abf8e6e748&id=a25f0e5dd6&e=090f0b0646)
Workers at the company have been fighting in vain since last year for a new CBA and a decent social plan for hundreds of workers who are losing their jobs and others who will be transferred to new locations in a major restructuring announced in October 2013.
Frustration came to a head at a meeting between the unions and the FloraHolland Board on January 17, convened to overcome the impasse on CBA negotiations. The company announced that, contrary to what had been agreed, the purpose of the meeting was only to discuss the social plan!
Negotiations on both contentious issues have reached an impasse, leaving the unions no alternative but to take strike action. They've asked for your support - CLICK HERE (http://iuf.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e788a43ccacc225abf8e6e748&id=f16c3c7b6e&e=090f0b0646) to send a message to FloraHolland in support of the union's demands.
