Customers flying with KLM need are not currently worried that they get stuck. The judge allowed the ground crew member of FNV not stop the coming weeks. The court found the strike disproportionate and points to the existing turmoil at the airport by terrorist threats.
The statement KLM and the unions four weeks additional time to negotiate a new collective agreement for ground staff. The employees of KLM to include one per cent pay rise and more permanent jobs.
But KLM will just further retrenchment working for ground staff after last years already apart from a structural wage increase, and a voluntary redundancy scheme in life was called.
Feeling of insecurity
According to the judge by the summer holidays are very busy at Schiphol. In combination with the current terrorist threat at the airport to find the court that the restrictions on the right to strike in this case are “socially urgent. He speaks of an explosive combination of crowds and the threat of terrorism.
“In times of terror threat which insecurity prevail, the last thing an airport can now use that extra commotion, arising from ( announced) interruptions that lead to passengers and / or baggage shall beaches at the airport. ”
Of the 30,000 employees of KLM there are only 3,800 members of the FNV. Other unions like the CNV, the Union and the Association of higher KLM staff are well agree with the new CAO.
Limited number of workers can paralyze whole business
The judge thinks that only a limited number of people will participate in the action, but that it is plausible that it is also willing to work this will be impossible normally made to continue their work.
“After all, quieting (only) one or more links in the overall process will result in the entire working process is delayed or suspended. the judge considers it therefore, given the huge holiday rush for the time being likely that the damage will be caused by this, although perhaps somewhat exaggerated by KLM but then by FNV wrongly downplayed, will be high. “
Do not whine, but negotiate
the court also highlights the fact that KLM and the unions had agreed precisely that they would arrive at a new collective agreement by mutual agreement. They negotiate collective wanted to reach an agreement. The documents also show that the FNV would have any mediation and / or arbitration as a preference and not a strike, which is now so is prohibited. The judge also stated that the FNV proposals rejects KLM, without any explanation or discussion.
Intense competition
New measures in the conditions required according to KLM because of the fierce competition in the aviation. But negotiator Jan van den Brink of FNV will further austerity unacceptable. He looks just big bottlenecks in different subjects. “Working pressure, it can not take leave, the lack of any kind of elderly, etc. etc. We have thereby indicated that many of these problems stem from the large use of temporary workers and by squeezing grids.”
Two weeks ago, the judge banned the strike by ground staff though. the judge saw “no urgency” to put a “heavy drug” as a strike. The ruling today is the final judgment of the case. The FNV will adhere to it, but does come with a ‘turbo rush apple. The union’s appeal. Boufangacha: “The verdict is incomprehensible safety triangle (the OM, the municipality of Haarlemmermeer and the police) about the security they have never allowed us to take action at KLM and Schiphol
Talk about it… proposals
the FNV is already a while odds with KLM on the work of the ground staff. KLM would love to talk, but FNV is there only to organize as the company comes up with better proposals.
Martin Stienen, strategic HR boss KLM: “the court ruling is a boost of 99 percent of KLM employees who looks down our proposal and who is willing to work with the future of this company “
” we have a good proposal on the table and we are open to dialogue with the FNV “
the FNV is not convinced Boufangacha:”… this is not a simple collective conflict. We carry a bigger fight here. The fight did not win, the passengers KLM to endlessly continue cutting back on personnel. “Boufangacha before calling Schiphol to stop” unfair competition in our national airport.
