Coach Drivers Strike in the Balearics
At the weekend ABTA stated that circa £1 million would be paid out in compensation for holiday makers whose travel plans had been disrupted by the coach drivers' strike in the Balearics.
Would it not have been more cost effective to pay the drivers what they wanted and avoid the pain and misery which has been inflicted on thousands of "customers", not to mention those in the industry who are employed to look after them?
I have been told that the threat of strike action was common knowledge three weeks before the dispute started.
