Strike by union staff for higher pay results in a 12% rise

Dutch News  

The strike by people working for the FNV trade union federation has ended after the staff union and the FNV itself reached agreement on a new pay rise.

Last weekend, central bank president Klaas Knot warned that if unions call for salary increases above 5% to 7%, there is a risk that inflation will rise again and there could be a wage price spiral.
