The very first sentence says this work was fudned by "FNV union"but I don't know what that means; the closest I could get was a Dutch trade union?

The fact that they don't define this (apparently) biased conflict, nor link to the actual study makes me immediately question the impartiality of any research.

We also just ran a real world experiment where many of the jobs in question here where impacted by covid and individuals got a flat-rate government cheque, and they DID stay home rather than go back to work the same job once restrictions where removed, so I question any outcomes from a set of behavioural studies that discounts the suppression on low-paying positions.



FNV is the largest federation of unions in the Netherlands. (It's name translates to Federation of Netherlands Unions.)
