Trade unions FNV and CNV are conducting proceedings before the East Brabant District Court to ensure continued participation in Stichting Bedrijfstakpensioenfonds voor de Beroepsvervoer by land for employees employed by XPO Supply Chain in the lead up to 1 July 2019. Netherlands BV (formerly: ND Logistics BV) and/or XPO Supply Chain Netherlands II BV (formerly: TD Holding BV) which joined XPO Supply Chain Netherlands III BV on July 1, 2019 (since June 28, 2022 called: GXO Logistics Netherlands III BV)
GXO Logistics Netherlands III BV has provided a defense against this claim by unions that participation in Pensioenfonds Vervoer has ended and that, in close consultation with the Works Council, it has come up with a new action plan, a blueprint for the employees involved to include participation in the new era pension scheme.
This procedure is called “teamwork”. FNV and CNV were appointed by the court as exclusive representatives.
