More than a week ago, the court in Haarlem forbade a 24-hour strike of the KLM soil staff. That judge also ruled that that action was too drastic due to all possible safety problems that can arise at Schiphol. Subsequently, the unions had announced an eight -hour strike for next Wednesday. With a new summary proceedings, KLM hoped to move the judge to also ban this new action.
‘Not resolved’
The prohibition of the judge in Amsterdam from a strike by KLM soil staff at Schiphol next Wednesday afternoon is “positive for all passengers who travel with us next Wednesday and for KLM as a company”. The airline reports this in a response. “We can now continue to perform our operation safely.”

“But that does not solve the underlying problem. We can find the answer to this at the table, not in the event of a strike. It is now important to start a conversation with all trade unions as quickly as possible and to come to agreements together. We trust that FNV and CNV connect just like the other unions, so that we can continue to work on a new CAO,” says KLM.
