The first day of strike action by airport staff in Spain is due to take place tomorrow, on Thursday September 15. Workers of three Spanish unions - the Comisiones Obreras (CCOO), the Union Sindical Obrera (USO) and the Union General de Trabajadores (UGT) - will walk out in disputes over pay and working conditions.
Those employed in security, catering, IT and retail, as well as car-park staff and baggage handlers, will participate. The unions voted for 25 days of strikes over the course of 2022’s conclusion, with five in September, seven in October, two in November and 11 in December.
This could affect anyone jetting off to get some winter sun over the Christmas period. Additionally, Ryanair cabin crew are into their second month of strikes, which sees 24-hour stoppages every Monday to Thursday, although the airline does not anticipate much disruption to its services.
