The Walloon Federation of Integration Companies (InitiativES) and the Consultation Platform of Representative Organizations of the Social Economy in French-speaking Belgium (Concertes) indicate on Thursday that they do not support the request for a 5-euro increase in the service voucher , announced by the three largest employers in the sector on Wednesday.
The organizations “firmly” oppose the request of the employers’ federations to “ensure the balance of the system”. “Such a substantial increase in the service voucher would be unsustainable for the lower middle classes”, argue the two organizations in the press release. In addition, they indicate that this would encourage undeclared work, but also that “the Walloon government’s proposal to increase the service voucher by 1 euro already makes it possible to structure the sector in this period of crisis”.
The FGTB, CSC and CGSLB also reacted to the announcement in a press release on Thursday. “The sector is 70% subsidized by the public authorities,” say the unions. “We are and remain of the opinion that public money should be used for the well-being of domestic helpers and not to further enrich a wealthy minority of shareholders. »
