Putters can count on the unanimous support of employers and employees. The crown members also support his nomination. Putters is a professor, former senator and director of the SCP in recent years. He was labeled by the Volkskrant as ‘the most influential Dutchman’, because of the influence of the SCP on government policy.
Labor Party
Like Hamer, Putters is a member of the PvdA. Responsible Minister Van Gennip (Social Affairs, CDA) had a fellow party member in mind. It would be a female CDA member with experience abroad. But now the SER and the minister have agreed on Putters’ nomination.

The official decision to appoint Putters, who is highly regarded in The Hague, will be ratified next Friday in the weekly Council of Ministers.
What is the SER?
The SER is the government’s main advisory body on socio-economic issues. The SER consists of representatives of trade unions, employers and independent crown members. Agreements concluded in the SER are important guidelines for a cabinet that are difficult to ignore.
