Employers Foreman Hans de Boer offers his “generous apologies” for insulting welfare recipients and the commotion that followed. He did Wednesday in a press interview in Muenster said.
“The old Dutch word labbe shit I used to be part of a group of people on welfare is to identify the people who do not want to work, “said De Boer. “It could very well be half the group. That needs to be sorted. But because the other half is offended. And of course it is not my intention to make everyone in the assistance pain.
His apology in Münster is less generous than the official statement that De Boer Wednesday on the website of VNO-NCW left turn. “The word labbekak I should not use it in that context,” he says in it. “I am genuinely sorry if I’ve hurt people thus,” the leader of the employers’ lobby. “What I wanted to say is that we need to look at the current system whereby someone is in the assistance and supplements have more left over than someone with a job.”
Labbe shit
De Boer spoke in an interview with the Volkskrant ‘ benefit vivants ‘and’ labbe shit in a benefit. ” He thinks that three quarters of the bystanders at work can and should also educated. “People who are good in body and need to work. They can still just stabbing asparagus, in the sun, with the radio? What is wrong with that? “
According to De Boer, the Netherlands has almost 700,000 of unemployed and half a million onlookers and therefore” must we begin to look quite angrily to the level of benefits. The assistance should go down. ” (Incidentally, the Netherlands had late last year 377,000 welfare recipients and 438,000 unemployed, the CBS said the overall unemployment rate came last month at 617,000 people, ed.).
Rutte
Earlier Wednesday called Prime Minister Mark Rutte those statements’ really totally inappropriate “and did not elaborate much more words to make dirty. “Everything I say about it further, only makes it more painful for the person who gave the interview.
Deputy Prime Lodewijk Asscher displeased noted on Twitter that De Boer ‘unemployed berating and there proud. ” According PvdA Asscher calls this time an outstretched hand instead of a middle finger. He believes “that insult and basically humiliate people, not really mature. “This can actually save all those people who want to work very much, and in this economy the opportunity not get in the face.”
Vakbeweging
For Men Ton Heerts union FNV and Maurice Limmen of CNV also reacted as by a wasp sting. The FNV does not show up Friday to qualify for the joint meetings of the employers and the unions in the Social Economic Council and the Labour Foundation. “Never before has a president of VNO-NCW themselves as inferior on the fellow, ‘said Heerts. “A total provocation”.
According to De Boer he wanted to interview those people point out the error in the benefit system and surcharges. But, he admits: “It’s obvious that I should have done so in other words.” In a text message earlier today, he said that the purpose of the interview as for him to be that work pay and that another benefit system less industrious people from other countries to work and less Dutch.
Arbeidsgehandicapten
So De Boer far not responded to another part of the interview, which also caused the fuss. As Labour leader Diederik Samson also has quite disturbed by De Boer. On Facebook, he wrote Wednesday: “Beneficiaries included for” labbekak “and three sentences later shamelessly admit you verdomt to help disabled people into work. Dear Hans, who is here now labbekak? “
De Boer gives in the interview to the dissatisfaction of Samson fact also that there for the time being nothing will come of the promise of employers’ organizations to help regular work until 2026 hundred thousand disabled people. This has agreed to the employers’ organization in April 2013 with the trade unions and the government in the social agreement. “Results I can not show. In all honesty, I have nothing to offer currently. In practice, it is difficult to make, “says De Boer. Asscher told Radio 1 that he Boer anyway wants to keep his word.
Vijftigplussers
Elderly Anbo Bond (General Dutch Association for the Elderly) has announced that De Boer is “very much fur” has created his very negative characterisations. Many job seekers are according to director Liane den Haan found fifty passed at the end of their unemployment period and fail to work.
” These people are often downsized during the crisis, “she says,” and to simply say that they will only have to stabbing asparagus, is simply an affront. Life at minimum level is no fun. You really can not suggest that the majority is not willing hands to stabbing up your sleeves for many that is not optional
replay
It’s certainly not the first time since he took office nearly a year ago VNO-NCW De Boer polder political parties and get the curtains. In his introductory interview he gave to immediately by the Rutte cabinet report that he ‘grind’ has to ‘blackmail’ in the social agreement to help disabled people to work. A few months later he garnered much criticism for his observation that women are “biologically gap ‘and therefore do not make it to the top of the business.
And earlier this year he called to take on more development on the shovel, even in the Volkskrant. “We were a quarter of the € 4 to 5 billion must apply for relief to development, with the stated objective to make every disaster to be first. Defense buys one or two transport aircraft there, some helicopters and then we fly there immediately go with tents and food – the whole trade. That is our trademark: if there is somewhere misery, Netherlands is the first to help. ” A nonsensical plan, thought field.
