Thousands of members of FNV Abvakabo and CNV Publieke Zaak
trade unions from local government joined a demonstration in the town of
Hendrik Ido Andacht on 18 June. Their target was the congress of the VNG

Amsterdam, Groningen and Utrecht on 16, 17 and 18 June and the unions say
more industrial action may follow unless the employers return to the
negotiating table. The unions are mobilising around the call for respect,
jobs and purchasing power and want a 2.5% pay increase this year and 3% next
year. Read
