Demerger Philips Domestic Appliances (DA)

In December 2020, everyone was told whether they are part of the new DA organization. In that case, these employees will be offered an employment contract with the new independent organization as of 1 July 2021. At the moment, staff departments such as Innovation, IP&S, IT, HR, Finance, etc. are mainly looking at which employees can be classified under DA. Now that the choice for employees will soon be made, many people have questions about the future.

Experience, among other things, with the division of Lighting

In 2015/2016 VHP2 together with the other trade unions were busy arranging the employment conditions consequences for the employees who went to the independent Lighting organization. The trade unions have also gained many different experiences with other divisions of business units.

We can imagine that many employees are unsure what such a split-off means for them and how it will work. For that reason, we are happy to inform you about what is involved and we would like to hear what questions are in your life.

Webinar

On November 17, we gave a webinar for all employees who wondered what would happen to them in such a split.

The webinar agenda was:

• Explanation of various previous transitions
• Applicable law
• What do we agree on in transitional measures?
• Plenty of room for Questions / Input / Follow-up appointments

Together we get further

You know that it is important to improve your working conditions together with others. It helps if you draw your colleagues' attention to the usefulness of being a member of the VHP2. Forwarding this newsletter with our new brochure can help your colleagues join us. New members can still benefit from individual legal support from day 1 under certain conditions. As a thank you for a new membership you will receive a gift from us.
