CWI - Inclusiveness wage indicator key for success, FNV

"When we would have claimed exclusiveness for the wage indicator, it would not have the success it is having now," said Agnes Jongerius, chairwoman of the FNV, the largest confederation of trade unions in the Netherlands and co-founder of the Wage Indicator in a celebratory message at the ongoing conference.
"I do not see the complete world here yet, but that seems a matter of time," she said.
"If we would have claimed exclusivity, it would be appealing so much to the public as it does now," she added. "The wage indicator has become a household name in the Netherlands and can also have the same success in your countries." Now the wage indicator is not only including companies and competing trade unions, but might also include in the future employers' organizations.
