Security personnel at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport will briefly halt work on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to RTL.nl. The work stoppages are expected to cause longer lines for travelers during those two days.
The action involves "ministrikes" of roughly 15 minutes each, as reported by NOS. Multiple Dutch outlets, including NU and AD.nl, confirm the temporary work interruptions are scheduled for both days.
The security workers are protesting high workload pressure, according to NRC. The short, repeated stoppages are designed to disrupt operations without a full walkout, creating delays that highlight staffing concerns.
RTL.nl reports that passengers should anticipate longer queues at security checkpoints tomorrow. The exact timing of the stoppages has not been specified in the available reporting, but the impact is expected to be felt throughout the day.
Schiphol has faced recurring staffing challenges in recent years, and this action adds to ongoing tensions between workers and management over working conditions. The security staff's union has not been named in the reports, and no statement from airport management has been included in the available coverage.
Travelers flying from Schiphol on Tuesday or Wednesday should factor in extra time for security screening. The situation may evolve depending on whether further actions are announced, so passengers are advised to check for updates from the airport before heading to their departure terminal.
