CNV trade union agrees to Boskalis social plan

News
Papendrecht, 28 October 2016 Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) announces that the trade union CNV Vakmensen has agreed to the social plan related to the previously announced fleet rationalization. Mid-September, the Dutch Works Council of Boskalis had already agreed to the fleet rationalization and the related social plan. In November, Boskalis will start with the implementation of the plan whereby the timing of the workforce reduction also depends on factors such as the current deployment of vessels and national legislation. Where possible the workforce reduction will be absorbed through attrition and redeployment. Despite this, compulsory redundancies can unfortunately not be ruled out.
