Representation

The ACLVB trade union delegation does not consider itself to be just another opposite of the employer. As a participant in social dialogue, we are an essential part of the KU Leuven company. A good opposition is the watchdog for every democratic organization; the legally organized social consultation takes on that role within a company, in the interest of everyone who wants to see that company function properly. The manifest belief that employee well-being is the most essential part of a healthy business interest drives us in our operations.

We represent you in the:

On national level we are participating in

  • Vlaams overlegcomité voor het hoger onderwijs (Flemish consultation body for Higher Education) where collective labor agreements are negotiated between Flemish universities, Flemish government and trade unions;
  • Paritair Comité 225 (Joint Committee 225) where collective agreements are negotiated between Belgian Universities and trade unions.

We make KU Leuven administrators and governments sensitive to the views and concerns of our colleagues who have to implement policy decisions on the work floor.

Sometimes a monster company like KU Leuven (almost 14,000 employees, excluding UZ Leuven) shows small imperfections and then it is good that someone stands next to a colleague and supports him or her unconditionally. Therefore, where and when necessary, we assist our colleagues in relation to their head of department, their director, their faculty, their campus, their group manager, their rector,...

We help guide colleagues and organizations through the maze of social law.

We contribute to constructive solutions to help colleagues and organization move forward.

Consultation is more important in all this than too frivolous action.
