Your vote for more job satisfaction and job security

You achieve more with dialogue. In addition, you do not work on job satisfaction and job security on your own – not in a complex organisation, not in a company undergoing a complete reorganisation, not in a quickly changing working environment, not even in a company where it is nice to work. Dialogue about possible improvements is essential for creating an optimal working environment.

Over the past few months, constructive dialogue with a focus on specific results for executive staff has inspired hundreds of executives to present themselves as a candidate for this year’s social elections, which have been postponed and will take place from 16 to 29 November. They want to represent their colleagues, and many of them deliberately want to do this by means of an AVC mandate. This is because ACV not only represents all employees, enabling the trade union to focus strongly on collaboration, but also plays the executive card. ACV explicitly supports collective trade union work on behalf of executives via ‘ACV Kader’. This network provides executives with excellent support and an interactive range of services. We highlight this strong framework on page 8.

Our framework programme for the elections? You can read all about it on page 4. On the basis of our many contacts and conversations, we have developed an election programme we know our executives feel strongly about. What we offer is not a detailed reference work, as each company has its proper context, but rather a bundle of recognisable concerns executives want to address, preferably in consultation with management.

Our programme centres around constructive, powerful social dialogue, which we promote strongly among executives and the management. The added value of dialogue resulting in a more transparent and fair remuneration package, a better work-life balance etc. should not be underestimated. Voting for an ACV Kader candidate is voting for recognition, dialogue and result. Organised consultation ensures a reliable partner for your employer and a credible mouthpiece for you and your colleagues.

Will you vote for an ACV candidate in exchange for 200% commitment?
