• All staff will receive a one-off bonus of EUR 1,600 in 2016;
• All staff will receive a structural salary increase of 1% effective 2018;
• All staff have the option of converting up to 20% of their salary into a profit-sharing scheme;
• KLM will ensure job security, with no discharge on economic/financial grounds for the duration of the CLA, despite the on-going reorganisation;
• KLM is prepared to offer fixed contracts to 165 temps;
• KLM will adhere to national agreements in favour of unemployment insurance (WW) coverage for a three-year period.

On top of that, it is important to bear the following in mind:

• Despite the economic/financial headwind, no KLM employees have been compulsorily discharged. The reduction in FTEs over the past year was achieved through natural attrition;
• The labour costs of fellow handling companies are up to 30% lower than KLM’s;
• Work pressure if up to 20% higher at fellow handling companies.

KLM remains convinced that its proposal contains a great package of agreements, which will contribute to ensuring a brighter and better future for our organization.

While the FNV union has repeatedly presented ultimatums, KLM has continued to pursue dialogue in the on-going negotiations. The other four unions have presented KLM’s CLA proposal to their members and see no reason for protest action.
