More and more people with Stapelbanen

According to the Federatie Nederlandse Vakbeweging (Dutch Federation of Trade Unions, FNV), the number of people with 'stapelbanen' has increased. .

A Stapelbaan is described as being employed by one or more employers' for several smaller functions, such as stacking. For example, a cleaner employed by a company may work ten hours on cleaning, and do other functions for another ten hours on a twenty hour contract.

The Federation says this development is a sign of looming poverty.
"You always hear that it goes well with the economy, but for many people it is not. Poverty is closer than you think," said FNV director Mariette Patijn.

At present, more than half a million Dutch labourers are employed for more than two functions, often by more than one employer. In 2013 there were around 300,000 employed in this manner. Stapelbanen, for many people are not a choice, but a necessity because employers offer a "small and poor" contract. In response, the union called for more 'real' jobs with more certainty in their contracts.

The FNV maintains the argument in the context of World Poverty Day.

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
