People flying to Portugal have been warned of an extensive three-day strike this month. Ten Portuguese airports will be hit when workers from two unions take action from August 19 to 21.
The action will fall during a busy summer holiday weekend at airports operated by ANA, including the bustling hubs in Lisbon, Porto and Faro. Thousands of fliers could see travel chaos as cabin crew, ground handlers, security staff and more workers walk out.
The dispute between the airport authority and two civil aviation unions is over higher wages and better worker conditions. Portugal Resident reports Civil Aviation Workers' Union (SINTAC) has rejected a 30 percent salary reduction by airport operator ANA.
