Reaction De Unie to reports from fellow unions
Usually we don’t say much about other unions. De Unie confidently represents its own members and does not need other trade unions to profile itself. Yet we feel compelled to deviate from this line at some point. Of course, this has to do with the unusually fierce reactions to the announcement yesterday that 3 ground […]
Purchasing power retention achieved in result of collective bargaining
Some time ago, we received an invitation from KLM to discuss the collective labor agreement again. As you know, the collective labor agreement has expired for more than six months and the talks have been very difficult so far. We have informed you about this in previous info. Talks resumed on Wednesday, August 27, 2025 […]
Additional Notice
After our previous information earlier this week, just a short additional message. Mobility agreements Back on Track Drawing up the final texts of the Back on Track mobility agreements is taking a little more time than previously estimated. We therefore expect to be able to start the consultation on the agreement in principle at the […]
Multi-consultation does not offer a solution for the time being
As indicated earlier, yesterday, July 10, 2025, we again spoke with KLM in a multi-context about the topics of wages and duration for the new collective labor agreement. In this consultation, we indicated that KLM’s previous proposal – a one-off payment of €1,000 in 2025 and a result-related structural increase of between 0.5% and 2.5% […]
KLM abandons the zero line
Last week, the judge banned the 24-hour strike at Grond. As a result, that action did not take place. Union members who had registered with us were informed about this. Today, all unions were invited by KLM for a joint discussion about wages and the term of the new collective labor agreement. Eight unions, including […]
Been quiet, but not idle
Earlier we informed you about the impasse in the collective labor agreement negotiations and the threat of actions. Of course, there has been a lot of informal consultation behind the scenes. It is now clear that two fellow unions have announced a 24-hour strike and that KLM is trying to prevent this through summary proceedings. […]
KLM Ground: Last chance!
We have previously informed you that there is also a lot of dissatisfaction among our members about the lack of a new collective labor agreement for KLM’s Ground Staff. And of course we are also concerned about the future of KLM, but in addition to the necessary investments in the new fleet, KLM must also […]
Anger and disappointment, but also room for nuance
After the collective labor agreement negotiations at KLM Grond stalled, we as a Union put out a short poll. The question was simple: have we talked to KLM long enough about a new collective labor agreement, or should we talk further? Until today, everyone could respond. In this message we share the results. The result […]
KLMGrond – Update collective labor agreement negotiations
Last Wednesday, May 7, 2025, we spoke again with KLM about the collective labor agreement. This was now the 21st meeting. We have paid a lot of attention to the renewal of Annex 15 of the collective labor agreement. This is important, because employees who are faced with redundancy (also in the context of Back […]
KLM Grond: Few concrete results yet, but we are not sitting still!

Although no agreement has yet been reached, we thought it would be good to inform you again about the state of affairs. Back on Track (BoT) Earlier we informed […]
