The Central Works Council (COR) has the right of consent, advisory and initiative. These rights support us in consultations and in giving solicited or unsolicited recommendations (in Dutch).
In committees, we thoroughly prepare certain issues in a smaller context, before they are discussed in a COR meeting. The recommendations from the permanent and temporary committees allow the COR to reach a well-considered recommendation and/or decision.
Committee meetings are public. For further information, you can contact the secretariat of the COR.
