Customs officers at Amsterdam airport Schiphol organised actions in protest to the lagging renegotiations of the collective agreement for civil servants. The unions continue to press for protection of purchasing power, training for workers threatened with redundancy and better career prospects for young workers. The “punctuality actions”, in which customs officers check the papers of all passengers, potentially leading to delays, were a solidarity action in the line up to the 22nd of March protest against cuts in sheltered workplaces.
