Voka puts reform Major law on government table

Hans Maertens, managing director of the Flemish network of enterprises Voka (pictured left), made a plea at Apzi-Voka West Flanders’ spring reception to modernise social dialogue. “One of the major challenges for the near future is the increasing shortage on the labour market. Due to the ageing of a sizeable generation, there will be 400,000 vacancies in Flanders in the next five years. So the real war for talent has yet to erupt. The labour market is also becoming crucial for the ports.”
