SER Merger Code 2015 (SER-Fusiegedragsregels)
ReferenceThe SER Merger Code 2015 (SER-Fusiegedragsregels) is a code of the Dutch Social and Economic Council (SER), not a statute: it does not appear in the official body of legislation (BWB), so it is presented here as a reference page linking to the primary source.
The Code protects employees' interests in mergers and acquisitions: a company preparing a merger must notify the trade unions and the SER in good time and allow them to give their views on the reasons for and consequences of the transaction for staff. It complements the works council's right to be consulted under Article 25 of the Works Councils Act (WOR).
