FNV Cabin Crew has notified KLM that 56% of its membership base voted against the agreement in principle.

Previously, the biggest trade union, VNC, which represents more than 70% of all cabin crew, did vote in favour of the new collective labour agreement. A limited majority of FNV Cabin Crew’s membership base, which represents around 15% of all cabin crew, has now voted against the agreement. FNV Cabin Crew has informed KLM that it will now discuss the outcome. KLM will do the same. KLM nonetheless hopes that FNV Cabin Crew will sign the collective labour agreement, thus concluding a particularly difficult period.
