FNV opened against social security system for self-employed – Financieele Dagblad (Registration)

FNV draws a line in the sand, the union does not want to further reforms of the labor market. A new social system, which provisions for disability, unemployment and disease also makes available to self-employed, is undesirable, priceless and therefore unattainable, says chairman Ton Heerts in an interview with this newspaper. “Employers and political parties that advocate for it, put the ax to the root of the welfare state that we have fought for a hundred years.”

Heerts thus responding to today’s employers lobby dome AWVN to rebuild the social system, and cut to all workers instead of people with an employment contract. D66, PvdA, CDA and Green have shown interest in such upheaval.

The concern is that they put pressure on the labor market with bottom rates, and later widely need social support. Therefore, they would also have to insure against disability. The support of employers AWVN dome at that point is considered controversial because the traditional employers line is correct to bet on deregulation.

But according Heerts said gap should be closed by the blade in the ‘unqualified’ to self-employed put. Thereby to freelancers charge higher tariffs, and they become less attractive to hire, he argues. AWVN chairman Harry van de Kraats he calls a ‘gladjakker “that creep aankoerst on’ provisions on assistance levels. And economist Paul de Beer, who has in the past called for a basic system, according Heerts “of the toad gets cut.

‘lone self-employed entrepreneurs, and we should not pretend they suddenly should have access to all sorts of other things. I am committed to the relationship between the premium paid by someone and the assurance which he receives in return. Thanks to the Social Accord we already have a very good new redundancy law, which will make the flex firmer. The social system is now complete. You should be viewed in its context. There you can not just pick out one brick. We say. So far and no further ‘
