PostNL Riders Balls | Financial

This is apparent from a letter sent by the Belangenvereniging van Pakket Distributie (BVPD) to its members. They threatened to act because they felt that the current compensation per package did not outweigh the increasing flow of parcels. Due to the growth of online shopping, more and more packages must be delivered, but there is no higher pay for it.

"Too little"

"The increase is still too weak to comply," said a spokesman for the BVPD. "We are considering follow-up measures." On Monday, the board of directors consulted the management of PostNL.

PostNL says that it reacts to the signals it has received from entrepreneurs and changing circumstances. "Significant adjustments are a higher reimbursement of vehicle fleet costs, compensation for additional costs resulting from a tighter labor market and measures to increase waiting times and reduce costs." parcels sorting centers ", explains a PostNL spokesperson.

There is a shortage of drivers in the Netherlands, so the postal company does not want to lose drivers. Other providers of packages such as DHL and DPD are also people who are jumping. The bustle of delivery means that packages can stay, while the market leader, PostNL, wants instead to better serve the customer by delivery in the evening or on weekends. The postal company wants half of its sales to come from the parcel company in a few years.

"With these joint adjustments, the average business hourly figure for most businesses increases by at least 3%," according to a PostNL spokesperson. 19659002] Independent Drivers

There are still 250 independent drivers among PostNL's parcel drivers, the rest have been in paid employment for a few years. Legal proceedings were initiated because a number of hunters were "false self-employed". According to the BVPD, PostNL wishes to associate the offer with the obligation to comply with Wet Aanpak Schijnconstructies. She needs a separate auditor's report for that.
