On 12 December 2011, Dutch unions and employers in the supermarket sector have agreed a new two-year pay deal, with an extra increase for young shop workers.

Adults will get a 3.8% pay rise spread over two years, while younger staff will get 6.8%. Some three-quarters of supermarket staff are under the age of 23.

The new pay rates will also apply to youngsters who are employed via staffing and payrolling agencies after three months in employment.
