Stronger together for the best care
Within Unite in Care, employers and unions on Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba come together. They work toward one shared goal: Stronger together for the best care.

This collaboration led to the development of the BES Healthcare CLA. For the first time, joint agreements were made on employment conditions for employees in healthcare and social care in the Caribbean Netherlands.
The CLA provides a clear and shared framework. This ensures clear agreements, more coherence and a strong foundation for a future-proof healthcare sector.
