The CNV trade union focuses on a wage increase of 3.5 to 5 percent during the upcoming CAO negotiations. That is a slightly lower wage requirement than last year. The trade union also focuses on a phase of life.
The wage requirement of the trade union for the new discussions has been calculated on the basis of the inflation expected for 2026 (2.6 percent) and labor productivity (1.7 percent), says CNV chairman Piet Fortuin.
This is a requirement of the trade union, which is usually somewhat higher than the final result. The FNV trade union usually comes on the Monday before Prinsjesdag, so next week, with the wage requirement.
Last year, CNV focused on a wage increase of between 3.5 and 6 percent in the negotiations. The upper limit was then higher. According to Fortuin, higher requirements were necessary in recent years, because workers get too little paid and inflation was high. But “in the meantime most wages are up to date,” says the chairman.
Furthermore, the union focuses on a phase of life. The majority of the collective labor agreement agreements remain collective and it applies to all employees who fall under the collective labor agreement, but employees can fill in a small part themselves based on the need or life phase. CNV, for example, mentions special packages for young parents, caregivers or older employees.
