Utrecht – Employees of the FNV are going into it today with a straight leg, at the head office of the union in Utrecht. “Everything is so fucking expensive, fucking expensive, fucking expensive,” they sing along with a laugh when a board member of FNV Havens takes the stage. “We also ask other companies to maintain their purchasing power,” says Niek Stam. “That means we can buy as many cases of beer today as we did last year and the year before.”
FNV employees are now striking for themselves: ‘Preserved purchasing power means that you can now buy as much beer as last year’
