There is a 1st division result being submitted to the members . The agreement is based on the increase of wages by 0.8 percent. This money is available under the austerity of pensions on 1 January 2015.

False

“The Finance Minister stated Thursday March 5 in the TV program Pauw incorrectly that all there would be a new closed ‘collective agreements within Defence. If the minister has meant that they would complete this part results quickly with a strong positive wage that we can live with that. But he will have to quickly come up with money over the bridge. If not, the government will strengthen the aforementioned distrust and thus put employment consultation within the Defence sector in focus “, says the FNV.
