Unions and Minister facing each other
They gave Minister Ivo Opstelten of Security and Justice until Sunday evening six hours to make it possible to come up with commitments that “serious negotiations”. “That’s based on its collective proposals hitherto not possible, because those are miles away from the demands of the joint unions’ action, the police unions.

Opstelten announced Friday, in turn, know that the demands that the unions have put on the table for a new collective bargaining agreement is not real.

Baseline
The unions demand besides a wage increase of 3.3 percent are other measures , such as a bonus related to the major reorganization being experienced by the police. The police are already four years on the zero line.
