## Resource

Dutch employers are giving the government a failing grade—4.6/10—complaining about lackluster ambition, excessive rules, and high taxes. Despite big promises to boost business, slash housing costs, and tackle nitrogen, entrepreneurs say little has changed. Most employers support cutting disability benefits for high earners and trimming unemployment aid, but fiercely oppose pension age reforms. The government’s plan to slash unemployment benefits and speed up pension hikes—aiming for €6.5 billion savings—has sparked union fury, threatening nationwide strikes, including a major public transport walkout on June 24th. Stability remains the top priority for businesses, and the government’s budget fix is still very much up in the air. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
