Holland Casino Faces Head Office Reorganization
Holland Casino is reorganizing its head office, a move that may result in forced dismissals. Unions are working to mitigate the impact on employees.
Reorganization and Potential Job Losses
Holland Casino has informed unions about its plans to reorganize its head office, a decision made in accordance with collective dismissal law.
While the precise number of affected employees remains unknown, the reorganization will lead to involuntary dismissals.
The existing social plan will still apply during this process, and the Works Council is currently reviewing the request for advice.
Union’s Proposals for Employee Support
De Unie has proposed the implementation of both a voluntary departure scheme and a job-making scheme to support affected employees.
Holland Casino has agreed to consider the job-making scheme but has rejected the voluntary departure scheme.
The unions are advocating for measures to ease the transition for employees impacted by the reorganization.
Concerns Over Extended Opening Hours
The extension of Holland Casino’s opening hours, scheduled for mid-2025, has raised concerns among employees.
The Works Council approved the extension with several conditions, but employees are worried about the potential impact on their health and safety, particularly regarding fatigue and dangerous commutes after late shifts.
De Unie has addressed these concerns with Holland Casino, agreeing to closely monitor the effects of the extended hours on employee well-being, health, and the overall organization.
Lobbying Against Gambling Tax Increase
Unions and Holland Casino representatives met with a member of parliament to discuss the proposed second increase in gambling tax.
Their goal is to prevent the tax increase from moving forward. The unions are actively lobbying to convince lawmakers of the potential negative consequences of the tax hike.
