OREANDA-NEWS. KLM achieved negotiating results with all ground unions on the night of 9 to 10 April. This implies that a mutually acceptable outcome was reached after due consultation. The results of these negotiations will now be presented to the member councils of the five trade unions, who will issue their recommendations.

The lengthy and intensive negotiations resulted in a balanced package of mutually acceptable agreements for the coming 18 months (through 1 July 2016), which will contribute significantly to the objectives of the Perform 2020 programme. KLM and the unions agreed that they would reconvene at a later date to discuss the remainder of the Perform period (from 1 July 2016 through 1 January 2020).
