Millions of holidaymakers going to Spain face travel misery as strike planned from Easter
FIVE million holidaymakers travelling to Spain this Easter will face flight chaos if an indefinite strike by 60,000 ground handling staff goes ahead.
The unions are not happy about specific clauses in their collective agreement affecting workers who are transferred from one company to another.A spokesman said: "The USO air sector, together with UGT, has presented a conciliation request prior to the call for a state strike against Aseata, the employer representing all the companies in the ground assistance sector.
Isabel Rubio, secretary of Trade Union Action of the Aerial Sector, said Aseata was currently refusing to budge on one controversial element which the unions felt was prejudicial to workers' rights and bonus pay.Another strike, which had been threatened for July, was called off pending negotiations.
