4.5 Collective bargaining in air traffic control

Employees of the Dutch air traffic control organisation LVNL are civil servants by law.
Since the end of the 1980s the government aims at the normalisation of employment
conditions as well as their negotiations, similar to the private sector establishment of
employment conditions. The employment conditions of civil servants are therefore
decentralised into eight sectors, and the air traffic controllers are part of ‘state
employees’. Employment conditions are determined by negotiations between the board of
the LVNL and the labour unions.
