250 cleaners held a protest action on Monday in Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam. Workers and their union, FNV Bondgenoten, are demanding that they be treated with respect by their employers and by the airport operator. In particular, cleaners are asking for a travel allowance to enable them to get to work, as well as clean and comfortable amenities in the workplace. Cleaners marched en masse throughout the airport, with drums, megaphones and placards, ensuring that they and their demands were seen and heard by the airport management, passengers, shoppers and all passers-by.
