Schiphol Airport and the unions and private companies representing the airport's security workers agreed to a significant boost in pay as Schiphol attempts to attract more guards while preventing the staff shortage at the airport from getting any worse. The airport offered an additional 2.50 euros per hour raise starting in November, on top of a 1.40 euro hourly supplement workers have been receiving since the end of the summer holiday period. The workers still have to vote on the deal.
