The Dutch trade union FNV Handel has warned of potential strike action at Etos and Kruidvat pharmacies. The dispute centers on dissatisfaction with the employers’ proposed collective labor agreement (CAO). Specifically, the union objects to the offered wage increase, deeming it insufficient. A key point of contention is the employers’ plan to reduce Sunday shift premiums by 50%. FNV Handel is demanding a more favorable wage offer and the complete withdrawal of the proposed Sunday premium cuts. Negotiations are ongoing, but the threat of industrial action remains if a resolution isn’t reached. This could disrupt operations at the popular drugstore chains across the Netherlands.
