suspicion
The employees find it suspicious that the school was transferred to the Pluryn Education Foundation in mid-November last year. 'Twelve days later the message came that the school had to close due to millions in losses at Pluryn', the teachers write in a statement. 'This smacks of a preconceived plan'
AOb: 'Employees should in any case remain employed until the end of this calendar year'
According to Pluryn, this line of thought is 'demonstrably incorrect'. 'The intended decision to bring all of Pluryn's schools under one foundation dates back to 2017.' According to the statement, the foundation wants to 'make every effort to guide employees of Het Hoenderloo College individually from work to work'.
Diploma
AObDistrict manager Clazien Rodenburg thinks that the employer should in any case give the employees more time to reduce the workload. “The board is now telling people: 'Until mid-June you have to do everything you can to help the young people get a diploma, and where you will be on August 1 - we have no idea.' I really don't think that's possible.”
According to Rodenburg, the employees should in any case remain employed until the end of this calendar year. “If necessary in a replacement pool for the other schools in Pluryn. In this way you at least offer people something of certainty. ” Pluryn will meet with the unions on March 4.
