Written by Anke Beeldens Thursday, 27 May 2010 00:00

In 2011 ABU will be celebrating it's 50th anniversary. A special moment we would like to share with all the CIETT members during the annual World Employment Conference in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

The ABU (the Dutch association of temporary work agencies) promotes the interests of the temporary work market in the Netherlands. With more than 370 members that have 3000 agencies/branches the ABU represents more than 60 per cent of the market in turnover and with that the association is largest employers' organisation within the Private employment agencies industry.

Since its foundation in 1961 the ABU has played a crucial role in the professionalisation of this industry. The main tasks of the ABU are to promote the interests of its affiliated Private Employment agencies, to create conditions for a healthy development of the staffing market, and to provide service for its 360 members and establishing the Collective agreement for Agency Workers and General Terms and Conditions governing the Provision of Staffing Employees.

In 2011 the ABU will celebrate it's 50th anniversary with a smashing party during the annual CIETT World Employment Conference in Rotterdam. We look forward to welcoming all our international delegates aswell as Dutch ABU members. More information about 50 years of ABU will be posted on this site in the very near future.
