Cleaning staff strike across the Netherlands, including Schiphol
Cleaning staff in the Netherlands, represented by the FNV union, are conducting a week-long strike from Monday to Friday. The industrial action targets various locations, including Schiphol Airport, train stations, and several universities and colleges. Hospitals are reportedly excluded from the strike.
The protest is a response to a collective labor agreement (CAO) recently signed by the CNV union and the employer organization Schoonmakend Nederland. FNV members have rejected the terms of this agreement and are demanding it be renegotiated. Key demands include higher wage increases, automatic inflation compensation, and the removal of income penalties during illness.
At Schiphol Airport, FNV representatives claim that approximately 80 percent of the cleaning staff will participate in the strike. While the exact impact on airport operations remains uncertain, Schiphol management stated they are working to minimize disruption for travelers and employees.
