Petition

We

Employees of (Dutch) Universities

 

establish that:

  • An excessive workload, unpaid overtime, a lack of transparency and democracy, and failing structures of social safety. There is a need for radical improvement.

  • In the latest CAO, employers have committed to address the structural dependence of universities on casual work in local negotiation committees. We are sceptical of this promise. However, we are prepared to give employers a semester to prove us wrong.

 

and request

That before 20 December the CVB's formulate a concrete plan of action to:

  • End casualization by accompanying structural work with permanent contracts.
  • Create progressive career paths.
  • Provide transparent workload calculations and take concrete steps against structural overtime.
  • Ensure a safe working environment through adequate procedures for reporting misconduct and an independent organ with a mandate to investigate and give advice.

Thanks to you all for signing the petition. Thanks to the over 1000 signatures, we have generated attention for the appaling circumstances of university employership all over the Netherlands and beyond! We have entered into conversation with most universities, sometimes with good results, sometimes with disappointment. See our official statement for more info.

We will close the petition, but we will keep fighting casualization, structural overwork and unsafe working environments on all levels. We started on February 14th, and we will not stop until our demands are met. If you want to support us, follow and join 0.7, CasualAcademy and CasualLeiden. Negotiations for the new CAO are starting shortly, we have hopes that this time, this struggle will not be overlooked. However, we stand ready for action!

In solidarity,
