On 20 December 2017, unions and the VO Council discussed a new collective labor agreement. It is very important for the trade unions that the workload is tackled. The aim of the unions is to take a first meaningful step so that staff actually experience that the work pressure is reduced.
About the way in which unions and employers differ. The unions want to lay down specific individual frameworks for this in the collective labor agreement. The Secondary Education Council does not wish to make concrete, enforceable agreements, except that the use of any available resources is determined by the team, the section or the school.
In addition, the salary is discussed. No agreement is yet in sight on this either. Both sides will discuss further in January.
