Air France-KLM’s Dutch arm will face a four-hour strike at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, one of Europe’s busiest travel hubs, after negotiations over a salary increase for ground staff broke down, the FNV union said in a statement on its
website.
“KLM continues to refuse to come to a good collective labor agreement for ground staff. They leave their own employees in the cold,†FNV union leader Jan van den Brink said.
KLM isn’t the only carrier fighting it out with its staff. British Airways was forced to cancel dozens of flights as it wrestled with the fallout from a two-day pilot strike. The walkout impacted travel plans for close to 200,000 people and cost the airline 40 million pounds ($50 million) a day based on its own estimates.
