Unions confirm Palma de Mallorca airport strikes for the next month
Saturday, April 22, 2017 @ 11:43 PM
STRIKES at Palma de Mallorca's Son Sant Joan airport have been confirmed, with the first due in a week's time on Saturday, April 29 from 08.00 to 10.00.
Later, between 11.00 and 13.00, a protest will be held outside the building, beginning in Departures.
Unions CGT and Somos en Acciona Airport Services say air infrastructure governing body AENA 'is not willing to negotiate' and 'continually fails to comply with' the collective working conditions agreement.
Acciona AS says despite the expected record tourist season this year, staff suffer from 'lack of job security' and the 500-plus employees are 'only on contracts of 15 to 18 hours a week'.
In addition to April 29, strikes will take place on Wednesday, May 3 from 20.00 to 23.00, then on Monday, May 8 from 13.00 to 15.00 and Thursday, May 18 from 11.00 to 13.00, concluding – for the moment – on Sunday, May 28 from 20.00 to 23.00.
