Effectively Managing the Partnership with Unions and Works Councils in The Netherlands – April 9, 2019

In her capacity of Chair of the People Platform of the American Chamber in the Netherlands (AmCham) and Partner at SAGIURE LEGAL Rachida co-organized and presented at the event “Effectively Managing the Partnership with Trade Unions and Works Councils”. The event took place at Kraft Heinz’s offices in Amsterdam and was attended by AmCham members who are predominantly US corporations with business interests in the Netherlands.  Rachida gave a presentation on “The Dutch Subsidiary and its Works Council”. To provide the attendees with insights in the similarities and discrepancies between the legal framework or reality in terms of trade unions and works councils Rachida reached out to our IR Global colleague Kara Maciel, attorney at Conn Maciel Carey LLP, whom she had met at the London Annual Conference in October 2018. Kara offered excellent input on the US framework and offered invaluable assistance in preparing the presentation. The presentation was very well received by the AmCham members and we were able to showcase the added value of our international network.
