Holidaymakers heading for Spain this Easter and summer can breathe a sigh of relief following the cancellation of widespread strike action by the country’s airport workers.
Threats to hold 22 days of action, made following publication of plans to part-privatise national airport operator Aena, were called off when guarantees of job security and certain conditions were made.
Union members said that some 70% of their 10,000 members had decided to back down after the reassurances.
A statement from the union representing the staff, the CCOO, said: “The ratification of this deal means the cancellation of the call for 22 days of strikes planned on different days between April and August.”
The news will delight Spanish tourism authorities who are anticipating a bumper spring and summer season as holidaymakers opt for Spain rather than travel to Middle Eastern tourist spots
