| Abstract |
Legislation due to come in force in 2003 will give Dutch employees the right to refuse to work on Sundays. However, the VNO-NCW employers' confederation has advised its members to seek provisions in collective agreements which could prohibit employees from refusing Sunday working. Trade unions have attacked VNO-NCW for what they view as an attempt to circumvent the law through collective agreements.
