Ground crews at KLM are set to strike for eight hours on 9 July unless the airline improves its wage offer, Dutch union CNV said Wednesday.
Labour union, the National Confederation of Christian Trade Unions (CNV) has announced that KLM ground staff at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport will stage an eight-hour strike on 9 July unless the airline agrees to more concrete wage increases.
The action is planned during a peak travel period, with school holidays beginning in parts of the Netherlands next week.
KLM, part of the Air France–KLM group, has not ruled out seeking a court injunction to block the strike — a move it successfully made in June. However, CNV expressed confidence that this time the strike would go ahead, arguing that the circumstances have changed.
Last month, the court blocked the strike due to security concerns linked to the NATO summit in The Hague. With that summit now past, the union believes legal conditions for industrial action are more favourable.
KLM said it recently offered a wage increase, but CNV rejected the proposal as “too vague.”
