Transavia

On Monday 25 August, the judge handling the preliminary injunction which Paul Klinckhamers had requested on behalf of airline company Transavia ruled against strike action being taken by the company's pilots. The Dutch Airline Pilots Association had called for a strike after having been unable to reach agreement with Transavia about the terms of the new collective bargaining agreement. The judge supported Transavia's contention that avenues for negotiation over the agreement had not been pursued to their maximum extent and that a resolution should first be sought via attempts at arbitration. The call for strike action was therefore suspended.
