Today is running the current collective labor agreement for hbo officially ended, but it will be tacitly extended until the new agreement is finalized. "All HBO employees retain the same legal position, nothing will change for them," says Van der Zweep.
If further agreements are needed in the meantime due to the corona crisis, this will simply be arranged, the driver emphasizes. "Agreements about wages will also be compensated retroactively or with a one-off payment because there is now a new collective labor agreement at a later date."
De AObdirector hopes to come to an agreement soon with the Association of Universities of Applied Sciences that represents the school boards. "We are not quite there yet, but we do think we will reach an agreement." Since beginning of March negotiates the AOb together with the other unions about the new collective labor agreement.
