Cepa consults with unions on Open Vld proposal

Trade unions and employers sat down yesterday to discuss the bill by Open Vld politicians Patricia Ceyssens and Egbert Lachaert around port labour reform. The bill, which would limit regulated port labour to the loading and unloading of ships (‘den blauwe steen’), caused a stir in the port community last week. Umbrella association CEPA spelled out its position to the unions.
