After nine months of negotiations, workers in the large metal industry have a new collective agreement.

Thursday morning, it was announced that an agreement has been reached on a salary increase of 5.9 percent over the coming years. This year, employees will receive a pay increase of 2.1 percent. In 2017 and 2018 new wage increases will follow, as well as a lump sum is part of the new collective agreement. The unions have responded positively to the agreement. The union members must still approve the agreement in principle.

Metal workers will also gain more control and autonomy over their own working hours. The improved conditions will affect around 140 thousand workers in the foundries, shipbuilding, vehicle construction and automotive industries.

The parties involved were pleased with these results. Negotiator Peter de Jong from CNV Professionals: “We have reached a principle agreement through proposals from the employers on the table. I feel i can remain confident in daring to present this collective package to our members.”

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
