Employer consults employees via social networking site

I've just heard of a new employment relations initiative over at Union Renewal blog.

Details are as such:

FNV Bondgenoten approaches employees of ANWB (Royal Dutch Touring Club), Rabobank, Holland Casino and the RaboBouwfonds on Hyves - the Dutch version of Facebook - to involve them in negotiations for a collective agreement.

Workers need not be union members in order to join the discussion on Hyves.

Out of 3,900 ANWB workers, 150 have joined the FNV-Hyves for their company.

See Consulting with workers through 'Dutch Facebook' for more details.
