AMSTERDAM, June 22 (Reuters) - Dozens of easyJet pilotsbased in the Netherlands will hold a second strike on Fridaylasting 24 hours after failing to secure better working hours,pensions and sick pay from the budget airline, the Dutch AirlinePilots Association said.
The easyJet pilots in the Netherlands are unhappy abouttheir working hours, do not receive sick pay and want thecompany to make larger pension contributions.
An eight-hour strike last week had a limited effect onflights out of Amsterdam's Schiphol airport since the airlinewas able to bring in replacement crews from other airports. Theunion was unable to say if this strike would have more impact.
"There's still an impasse with easyJet about the collectiveemployment contract," said strike coordinator Eme Tillema, whoseunion is acting for around 60 pilots.
The carrier opened a base at Schiphol two years ago as partof its strategy of carrying ever more lucrative businesstravelers.
