Netherlands -Employers organisation says employers who can should give pay rises -December 23, 2013

Employers’ organisation AWVN has said the companies that are doing well should no longer hold on to a pay freeze. While AWVN does not agree with the 3% increase across the board demanded by trade unions, it is an acknowledgement that wages have lagged behind inflation since 2008.
