According to Günther Blauwens, the Flemish chairman of ACOD Spoor, there have been consultations on the union demands in recent weeks and it has been agreed to sit down at the table with management in the coming weeks. “We have greatly expanded the pain points to be discussed to include the entire railroad corps.”
“Not only the productivity measures and the current problems of the drivers and station staff are discussed, but also those of the workshops, signal boxes and the infrastructure people. “In addition, we will examine the overall situation of the railway staff with regard to well-being and the increased examination load on the various joint organs,” says Blauwens.
HR Rail, the statutory employer of the railway employees, confirmed in a response that social dialogue will be resumed. “The company management and all representative unions have jointly drawn up a dossier plan, which will be the subject of social consultation in the coming period,” it said. “In this context, particular attention will be paid to files relating to recruitment and employee welfare.”
