Bouw sterkere vakbonden!
Bouw sterkere vakbonden? Its ‘Building Stronger unions’ in Dutch of course! (well it is according to babelfish, which probably means I’ve actually titled the post ‘Constructing long-lasting and loving relationships’ or similar…)
Great post here on the ‘Union Renewal’ blog about the experiences of a Dutch union organiser, Willem Dekker. Love this quote which is so true…
“When I walked to Central Station this morning, I read that I can join FNV Bondgenoten for six months for 25 euro. Three steps ahead, I read that I can fly to Spain for less than twice that amount. Power is not in a poster announcing an introduction offer, it is in organising and organising starts with a conversation, face to face or one on one during a home visit, in organisers’ jargon.”
Anyone fancy translating ‘Building Stronger unions’ into another language? C’mon what do you mean you’ve got better things to do on a Friday night ! ;-)
