Holland Casino rejects trade union wage proposals over potential tax hike

Operator News

Holland Casino has indicated that it is dealing with material uncertainty as a result of the increases in the gaming tax. In order to safeguard continuity, Holland Casino believes that it must take into account all possible scenarios.

Given all the uncertainty, Holland Casino proposes to opt for a one-year collective labor agreement. Holland Casino indicates that depending on a possible increase to 37,8% gaming tax, there may or may not be room for any increases.

Furthermore, Holland Casino wants to fully commit itself this year to further implementing the Occupation & Flexibility project. Holland Casino does want to grant a wage increase of 1% as of January 2026 if the second increase in gaming tax does not go ahead.

De Unie expects difficult negotiations in the coming period. However, we would like to point out that it is “The Hague” that came up with the (second) increase in gambling tax. Holland Casino must act on this and make proposals. These would have looked different if this increase does not come.
