| Abstract | The Netherlands' first collective agreements for 2003, signed in February, have followed the 2.5% wage increase recommended by the main trade union confederations, FNV and CNV. However, there are differences of opinion as to whether the 2.5% is a minimum or maximum limit, while there is debate among the social partners and political parties as to how moderation can be maintained in the coming years. |
