The District Court in Amsterdam formally declared Big Bazar bankrupt on Tuesday. The discount retailer was struggling with financial problems for an extended period of time, but an increasing number of groups filed complaints about unpaid bills. On Monday, Big Bazar made one last-ditch effort at a rescue attempt during a court hearing in Leeuwarden, but their efforts failed. It also emerged that the company has not paid its staff any wages during the month of September, with all 1,300 expected to lose their jobs.
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.
Over a third of security workers at Schiphol Airport want to look for another job, De Telegraaf reports based on a survey by trade union CNV Vakmensen. They are struggling under the workload and aggression from passengers.
