Karl SmallmanUNIONS 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.
The ear-marked dates are:
- April 20, 21, 24, 25 and 30
- May 2, 14, 15, 19 and 20
- June 13, 23 and 30
- July 1, 2, 3, 4, 15 and 31
- August 1, 15 and 31
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.
He said, “We are ready to talk to reach an agreement, which would have to be quick, because a strike at that time could adversely affect the economic interests of Spain.”
Another clever move by the Spaniards. How to beat the recession lesson 1!!
Seems they’re determined to go back to the good old days where they lived in abject poverty.
Whinging Spanish idiots once again, just do the job you are paid to do and be happy that you have a job to pay your bills. IDIOTS!
Park the racist rants.
This is a single Spanish union.
I don’t believe 40+ million Spaniards want an airport strike.
What racist rants Niko? I don’t think you understand the concept of what a racist comment is.
