Advice on pay and conditions

Our telephones are open on all weekdays, but you can also e-mail us, write a letter or come to the office.

DM will go through your employment contract, give advice on pay structures and pay levels, the working environment, maternity/paternity leave, holiday rights or general information about legislation, rules and regulations. If the matter cannot be cleared up immediately, one of our union advisors will stay in contact. The advisor will be able to negotiate on your behalf with your employer. Sometimes even that is not enough, and cases may have to go to arbitration or to court. This will not cost you anything. Sometimes just the union threat of taking the case further is sufficient to make the employer accept our members’ demands.

By having a union to back up demands, the individual member - or groups of members - achieves strengths and possibilities that would not otherwise be available.
