KLM ground staff to resume strike next week, union says

KLM will face a 4-hour strike at Amsterdam Schiphol after negotiations over a salary increase for ground staff broke down, the FNV union said. “KLM continues to refuse to come to a good collective labour agreement for ground staff. They leave their own employees in the cold,” FNV union leader Jan van den Brink said. The scheduled strike at KLM follows 2 walkouts that disrupted hundreds of flights. The date of the planned strike hasn’t been set and will be announced at least 48 hours in advance, the union said. Months of talks between the union and management over a new labour agreement have failed to produce a deal. KLM’s 15,000 ground staff are seeking a 4% pay increase, more fixed contracts and more favourable shift patterns, FNV said. <br/>
