On June 6 <\/span>Utrecht hosted the ‘Meet-Up Fair <\/span>Pay<\/span> and <\/span>Fair <\/span>Practice<\/span>‘. Organized by <\/span>fair<\/span>PACCT<\/span>, <\/span>Cultureon<\/span> and ZIMIHC Connect<\/span>. <\/span>D<\/span>e <\/span>fair <\/span>pay<\/span> practical tools for<\/span> self-employed workers <\/span>from <\/span>the chain table <\/span>Art professionals in <\/span>Cultural Education and Amateur Arts<\/span> ston<\/span>d<\/span>and<\/span> c<\/span>entral.<\/span> The <\/span>conclusion<\/span>:<\/span> <\/span>culture <\/span>\u00e9<\/span>n <\/span>fair <\/span>pay<\/span> are <\/span>n<\/span>ood<\/span> for everyone<\/span>, but sometimes difficult<\/span> to realize<\/span>.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>

The value of self-employed workers<\/h3>

Bertien Minco, chair of the chain table and longtime self-employed, <\/span>reported<\/span> that art professionals often receive limited fees, even below the minimum wage. They <\/span>emphasized<\/span> that it is important for every self-employed person to be <\/span>beseff<\/span>and: What am I worth? <\/span>What is <\/span>my<\/span> value to society<\/span>?<\/span> <\/span>In itself, a boring subject.<\/span> But in the chain table, workers, clients and mediators nevertheless enthusiastically started working on this, together with an expert independent researcher. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Simple d<\/span>igital calculation tool<\/span> rates<\/span><\/h3>

Karin Boelhouwer, k<\/span>dinner table member and <\/span>be<\/span>interests at <\/span>the Arts Union,<\/span><\/span> me<\/span>morphed <\/span>that the table <\/span>13 professional practices<\/span> in cultural education and amateur arts<\/span> has <\/span>recognized, each with its own fair <\/span>pay<\/span> hourly rate.<\/span> This has <\/span>done<\/span> based on a reference framework of collective bargaining agreements and a survey of 1,000 respondents. She demonstrated a simple digital calculation tool<\/a> that professionals and clients can use to h <\/span>un rates <\/span>can charge. <\/span>The intention is to use the<\/span> digiPACCT<\/span> calculation tool from 2019 to be adapted in parts<\/span> adjust given<\/span> this new tool.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

V<\/span>egalitarian <\/span>professional organisations<\/span><\/span><\/h3>

E<\/span>llen van der Rijt<\/span>, chief operating officer of ZIMIHC, <\/span>emphasized<\/span> that fair <\/span>pay<\/span> diverse<\/span> in its type of <\/span>versatile <\/span>institution<\/span>. Lessons are given, but <\/span>it also involves<\/span> facilitate, support and produce. The cultural houses with a similar situation, united in the Pa <\/span>rticipation Federation, therefore want their own CBA. Housing has already become more expensive, and it will possibly <\/span>be<\/span> with the <\/span>spending on the <\/span>working people. <\/span>As the linchpin for <\/span>participation <\/span>and <\/span>education <\/span>within a neighborhood <\/span>(<\/span>or village<\/span>)<\/span> organizations are of great value. <\/span>Yet more <\/span>subsidy is not expected. <\/span> <\/span>But<\/span> do less for residents, who are often tight on cash<\/span>tten<\/span>, is not a welcome option.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Voluntary organizations in the amateur arts<\/span><\/span><\/h3>

Ruben Timmer, policy advisor and network manager at Koornetwerk, noted that there are 750,000 choral singers in our country and an estimated 25,000 amateur choirs. Their value includes personal development and social cohesion. They usually receive guidance from professional conductors, who deserve fair pay. That is why Choir Network participated in the chain table. Choirs’ income is overall: 1\/3 members, 1\/3 activities, 1\/3 third-party funds<\/span> such as grants. But expenses are rising and with income there is often no indexation, subsidies are even declining in many cases. Members pay on average about \u20ac 200 to \u20ac 300 per year. Using differentiation in rates as a solution, for example, is poorly workable for these volunteer organizations. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

Outdoor Events<\/h3>\n

Special attention was <\/span>in the Meet-Up<\/span> requested for outdoor street events. These are important to bring culture to people. <\/span>Also <\/span>can <\/span>They have an economic value to the attractiveness of a (shopping) area<\/span> have<\/span>. <\/span> But it is not technically feasible to charge an entrance fee for that. So an organizer often depends on subsidy. If it doesn’t come or comes at a lower rate, then there are two choices: stop or let the professionals <\/span>less<\/span> pay. Often the <\/span>working<\/span> still participate z<\/span>eleven even z<\/span>under fee. But is this fair from fair <\/span>pay<\/span> point of view?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Solidarity<\/span> and cooperation<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>Fair <\/span>Practice<\/span> Code talks about fair chain. But solidarity is difficult, especially in a time of budget cuts. In the national BIS, the financial framework includes fair <\/span>pay<\/span> clear. Yet the applicants <\/span>also <\/span>there <\/span> often competitors of each other. This is true <\/span>definitely<\/span> bi<\/span>nnen<\/span> provinces and municipalities. <\/span>I<\/span>n the <\/span>M<\/span>eat-<\/span>U<\/span>p <\/span>was one <\/span>of the opinion that<\/span> the biggest players more responsibility <\/span>would <\/span>can take for the others. <\/span>Also, would <\/span>promoted cooperation to reduce overhead costs, for example <\/span>must <\/span>become. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Position <\/span>culture<\/span>grantors<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Elke Huiskens,<\/span><\/span> policy advisor on culture for the province of Utrecht, <\/span>stated <\/span>that fair <\/span>pay<\/span> within culture <\/span> starting point in the college coalition agreement. But no amount is mentioned with it. The reference is the \u20ac36 million that <\/span>from<\/span> the state and the <\/span>national cultural funds<\/span> nationwide <\/span>available. <\/span> <\/span>Plus the fact that small institutions have relatively higher fair <\/span>pay<\/span> additional costs than larger ones. <\/span><\/span>Research will be done on the incremental costs and based on that there will be a <\/span>roadmap<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

More resources<\/span> from <\/span>other domains<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Culture makes an important contribution <\/span>to <\/span>society<\/span>. <\/span>G<\/span>health and well-being<\/span> are promoted<\/span>. The innovative, creative and <\/span>self-thinking<\/span> ability gets a boost.<\/span> H<\/span>he enhancement of livability and attractiveness is <\/span>also <\/span>relevant. <\/span>All of this <\/span>is repeatedly demonstrated by <\/span>practice, but also from o<\/span>research.<\/span> Yet culture is still poorly succeeding in leveraging resources from <\/span> other domains. For example, from <\/span>the social<\/span>, physical or economic <\/span>domain<\/span>. <\/span>There would <\/span>according to the Meet-Up <\/span>yet <\/span>need to put more effort into it. <\/span>Bertien<\/span> Minco, founder and <\/span>previously <\/span>director of the Youth Fund for Sports and Culture, <\/span>was<\/span> of the opinion that in any case <\/span>apply everywhere<\/span> from poverty alleviation for cultural participation used <\/span>would <\/span>should be.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
