Strike at KLM Called Off as Talks Resume

The strike at KLM, announced by unions FNV and CNV for this coming Wednesday, will not go ahead. KLM and the unions have mutually agreed to press the “pause button” in an effort to break the current deadlock. Under the guidance of an independent mediator—yet to be appointed—KLM, FNV and CNV will resume discussions to explore potential solutions. The parties have given themselves until 1 November to reach progress.

The three other unions representing ground staff, with whom a preliminary agreement was previously reached, will be involved in the next phase of talks.
