Central Boekhuis cease deliveries to V & D – Financieele Dagblad (Registration)

The pressure on the ailing department store V & D is further increased Wednesday. The Central Book House shows the supply of books to V & D to have stopped. The unions FNV and CNV spanned both a lawsuit against V & D. The department store business today did not address the requirement to withdraw the last week announced wage measures.

Suppliers

The Central Book House confirmed Wednesday that its deliveries to V & D has already stopped on 23 January. That happened after the credit insurer Coface credit limit for V & D had put on now. Publishers can still deliver directly to the department store group, but do so at your own risk. As far as known the Central Book House is the first vendor to V & amp; D no more supplies. Central Book House is by far the largest book distributor in the country

Trade Union Director Martijn den Heijer reported Wednesday that new contact V &. D has nothing returned. “They reported that they wanted to talk, but were further not specific about what they want. The requested written confirmation of their intention containing a commitment that involves sacrifice wage table, also failed to materialize. Now we can not continue unlike the lawsuit.

Rude

Director Niels Suijker FNV says, “V & D maintains the pay cut of between 5.8 and 10% and still offers no guarantees for the future . Nobody wants to submit in advance without any real perspective. ” Furthermore Suijker announces the “downright rude” to find that the union throughout the day is kept on a leash while V & D employees and some media had already known that the company is now planning a year longer to take the time to implement the pay cut through. Instead of 5.8% pay cut immediately, the new plan 3% withheld from February next year and a further 2.8%. In addition, groups of employees in 2017 and 2018, again handing twice 2.1%. Neither FNV nor the CNV can live with those plans. Niels Suijker says that FNV and CNV separately from each other will send a summons, but that is asked to leave the two things at the same moment. “There is one summary proceedings. ‘ The date it remains to be established.

Collision Course

The Heijer says he is not surprised that V & D has not been prepared to change its course. ‘V & D is from the first hour on a collision course and behaves like the proverbial cat cornered. But this is not good for V & D. Not only among employees but also more broadly in society there is hardly understand the unreasonable shift of the problems on the employees. This leads to V & D only further reputational damage. According to the union is going to court now, the only way to prevent the staff from this month pay must hand.

Real

On Tuesday filed the lawsuit that was filed by IEF Capital at V & D. The property manager demanded to court vacating four major V & D department store buildings because the company has not fulfilled its lease obligations. In that case, does the court next Friday statement. Q & amp; D showed during the meeting that the moratorium will apply if the evacuation is ordered by the court. The street putting 606 employees and the loss of 17% of the total turnover can the group at this time to have a bear.
