Employees of grocery store chain Albert Heijn have been busy restocking all supermarkets, now that the strikes at distribution centers have been temporarily suspended. "We are working hard to restock the stores with all colleagues, which will take a few days. The impact of the strikes differs per region and per store," said a spokesperson for the supermarket chain on Thursday.
Supermarket firm Albert Heijn and the CNV and FNV labor unions will soon meet again about a new collective agreement for employees working at the retailer’s distribution centers. The new round of talks was sufficient reason for CNV and FNV to temporarily suspend the strikes, which according to the unions is taking place at the supermarket group’s initiative.
Employees at Albert Heijn s distribution centres have given the management of Albert Heijn time until 5:00 pm on Sunday, 23 April, to submit a collective labour.
