I am extremely disappointed with how FNV handles membership cancellations.

What I find absurd is that FNV has a three‑month cancellation period, which is not clearly specified upfront when you become a member, before signing up. This is already excessive, but it gets worse: the notice period only starts on the first day of the following month. This means that if you cancel just after the 1st of the month, you effectively end up paying almost four months instead of three.
In my case, I stopped my membership without being aware that this would still result in additional paid months. Had this information been made explicit, I would have never become a member.

A long cancellation period combined with poor transparency feels unfair and misleading. For an organisation that claims to represent workers, this practice is frankly unreasonable and outdated.

The FNV is a deceptive racket that collected membership fees for two years under the false pretense of legal security, only to provide ZERO professional assistance when actually needed.

Their "legal help" is a fraudulent joke, consisting of unqualified staff with no legal background who literally Google information while I was on the line.

Despite paying for expert representation, I received nothing but useless advice available for free to anyone with an internet connection, even wrong advice most of the time! I solved my own problems with my employer using free AI, including the issue that FNV told me I had a weak case that I cannot win.

They have ignored my formal complaints and refused to refund my money for services they never rendered, proving they are the biggest scam in the Netherlands.

FNV is a scam selling false sense of security, and they are the ones who took advantage of me, not my employer!

YOU PROVIDED NOTHING OF VALUE, GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!!

In my case, I received very good and fast help. Although my case lasted several months, I had ongoing contact with the lawyer, professional advice, and very friendly service. As a result, it led to a positive resolution of my case. I am extremely grateful to FNV for the help I received. I highly recommend!

Be honest very helpful. Thanks

Super experience in my first visit — simple, accurate, clear, timed and well organised, I was met by expert friendly team. Kudos

The employee was professional, supportive and very clear in communication. I received good guidance about my rights and the legal process. This made it much easier to deal with a stressful situation with my employer.

Really bad service
If youvneed their help they ask you to do a contraact for 2 years.Be aware they dont help you honestly.

Everyone should become FNV member . Believe it or not they care about members and my life at work is about to change only with their help

I asked for legal support, and it was properly delivered.

I asked for their help for a dismissal case. They assigned me an advisor and she reviewed the case, then she went on vacation at a crucial time so another person was in charge of my case, then for no reason a third person took my case and I had to explain to her my entire case in very few days.

My whole case was sustained on a single claim and I collected the relevant documents for this. I lost the case. When my first legal advisor returned from vacation she said that winning a case on that single claim was unfeasible. I could have taken a good settlement agreement instead of following FNV’s advice so I ended up losing significant money in the process.

I think this works well as a work issues information desk for people with no access to the internet but for real labour disputes it’s better to pay a proper professional and not waste your money.

absolut scam. been trying to cancel for months. keep telling me I have sent an email and they will confirm cancellation but I keep receiving bills and no confirmation letter of the cancellation. this is illegal.

Fnv advised me that being physically injured in the process other company strike is completly ok. I need to ignore work safety regulations and that s it. Wierd advise from a union.

I was there for over half year and they never helped me. Even though I left they still asked for money few months later. Thieves and scammers

We made tax return with fnv. It was great.

Excellent service,professional, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and great customer service.
Thank you FNV

The person that helped us was really nice and explained us everything in detail, and in English since our Ditch is not that good. She was really nice and patient.

As stated by many other users, they are there to take your money away. The fee is now almost €21, which is insane! I have asked to cancel my subscription and turns out you need to let them know 3 months in advance. So, here I am, unemployed and paying for those last 3 crappy months. Unless you feel you will need some legal assistance at some point, it is useless to join them.
