KLM ground staff threatens industrial action
KLM Airlines ground staff, represented by the FNV union, is threatening industrial action triggered by talks toward a new labour agreement. “July 21, KLM received an ultimatum from the FNV union in response to KLM’s final proposal for a new collective labour agreement for ground personnel. In its ultimatum, the FNV union said it will take labour action if KLM does not issue a written response before Tuesday, July 26, accepting the FNV’s demands, some of which are new,” KLM said. The carrier said it will consider FNV’s proposal, but added that the other ground handling unions are planning to present the deal to their members “in neutral terms.” Among other items, the proposal on the table includes a salary increase from Jan 1, 2018, employment protection, a E1,600 pay-out and a “significantly improved” profit-sharing scheme. <br/>
