Final Statement FNV vs Just Eat Takeaway.com

On 22 March 2023, the Dutch NCP published the Final Statement on the specific instance of the Dutch trade union FNV vs Just Eat Takeaway.com. The notification regards alleged violations of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises by Just Eat Takeaway.com, based in the Netherlands, and its subsidiary 10bis, based in Israel. The issues raised relate to the right to freedom of association of 10bis and/or Scoober workers in Israel.

In its initial assessment, published on 22 July 2021, the NCP concluded that the notification merited further consideration and offered its good offices to the parties. The good offices were accepted by FNV, but not by Just Eat Takeaway.com. Subsequently, the NCP conducted an independent further examination, resulting in this final statement.

The NCP concludes that Just Eat Takeaway.com has acted in a manner that is not consistent with the OECD Guidelines. The NCP recommends to Just Eat Takeaway.com that it ensures that 10bis/Scoober enters into meaningful social dialogue with Histadrut, communicates to all workers of 10bis/Scoober that they can join a trade union of their own choosing and also enters into a dialogue with FNV regarding its due diligence responsibilities as the parent company.

With this publication, the NCP procedure is concluded. The NCP will conduct an evaluation of the implementation of the recommendations one year after publication of the final statement.
