The social inspectorate has intensively checked the parcel depots in our country in recent years. Also that of PostNL. This showed that the company’s 220 subcontractors – the independent courier companies that deliver the parcels to the customer on behalf of PostNL – regularly violate social laws. These 220 subcontractors together account for more than 1,500 couriers. Between 2017 and 2021, almost 400 of those deliverers were legally out of order, according to data from the Inspectorate. In short, the inspection was able to catch a quarter of the subcontractors in that period alone for infringements. They will also appear in court tomorrow.
