Spanish airports summer strikes threat
March 9, 2011 •
UNIONS are threatening a summer of strikes to protest against the partial privatisation of airports operator AENA.No less that twenty-two strikes are planned between April 20 and end of August.
This would be a huge blow to hotels, airlines, car rental companies and the services sector, who now fear a ‘black summer’.
Unions claim that they have tried to negotiate with AENA and that they have not received a reply.
Minutes after the announcement, the president of AENA, Juan Motto, tried to calm tempers and announced a meeting with the UGT, Comisiones Obreras and USO unions next Thursday.
