Flying to/from Spain this month

If you are, take note of this:
GROUND staff in all of Spain's Spanish airports are expected to down tools on August 18 and 26 over the proposed privatisation of the Spanish Spanish airports Authority and the threat of mass redundancies.

Luggage-handling, check-in, runway and personal assistance staff will be on strike for 24 hours, both days, announce representatives from Spain's major unions, the CCOO, UGT and USO.

They say radical cost-cutting is leading to agreed workers' rights and conditions being 'repeatedly flouted' and redundancies rife.

The strikes will impact 60,000 members of staff in all Spanish airports in the country.
