Busy arrival day expected at Schiphol due to
Ascension Day long weekend
Many
passengers are expected again at Schiphol Airport on Sunday, because many
people are returning after a long Ascension Day weekend. As a result, baggage
and cargo handlers will likely have to process much more baggage than on normal
days.
New
consultations are scheduled for Monday between the airport and the trade unions
FNV and CNV about the staff shortage and work pressure. The unions want an
agreement to be reached on tackling the workload before June 1. Otherwise
demonstrations will follow. At the beginning of the May holiday, chaos ensued
at the airport due to a strike caused by angry employees about the workload,
which is high due to staff shortages.
The
coronavirus pandemic cost many airport staff their jobs and many of those who
left did not return because they found more highly paying jobs elsewhere.
People also want to go on holiday again now that the travel restrictions in
many countries are gone. Since the May holidays, this combination, coupled with
the staff shortage of security guards and baggage handlers, has caused enormous
crowds and long lines at the airport.
