Warning for holidaymakers as huge strikes to target peak season
The ultimatum was delivered today by the General Union of Workers, the UGT, which has told employers: "You have 15 days to raise wages or there will be a strike in the summer" Workers in a popular Spanish holiday destination are threatening to strike during the peak season. Hotel bosses in Tenerife are facing a stark threat from union leaders: agree to a pay rise within the next fortnight or brace for strike action in the peak of summer. Hospitality chiefs were hit with an ultimatum today by the General Union of Workers, the UGT, announcing to employers: "You have 15 days to raise wages or there will be a strike in the summer." Sindicalistas de Base, the leading union on the bargaining committee, has warned that failure to reach a deal by June 13 will result in a call to action with strikes during July and August. The unions demanded an unconditional salary hike retroactive to January 2025 as a precondition to discussing the rest of the items. The impending strikes could be an echo of the walkouts experienced during Easter Thursday and Friday, after protracted negotiations failed to lead to a deal. The rallying cry of the workers is for a 6.5% wage hike – an additional 4.5% atop the 2% already sanctioned by the collective agreement. In a powerful statement, the CCOO union has accused hotel employers of prioritising Tenerife's tourism image over the welfare of their employees. "What they don't tell you is that in all the postcards with photos of paradisiacal beaches and five-star hotels that mark the exterior image there is an internal face where the truth of the destination is told," the union said in a statement. "In this case the reality of the working conditions of the sector, the case of a housekeeper who has to take medication every day to make the day bearable and who is forced to clean private homes on days off in order to make ends meet. "That of waiters who, with split shifts, are condemned to be tied to the company for 12 or more hours a day, to collapse on the roads or to rest in the car between one shift and another. They don't show you the reception staff subjected to psychosocial risks on a daily basis. They don't tell you anything about the salary differences between provincial agreements of more than 20% in some categories." The new summer strikes would involve thousands of hospitality and restaurant staff, as well as cleaners, kitchen staff, reception, maintenance and entertainers. The strikes, if they go ahead, would have a particular big impact on British holidaymakers. The UK is the Canary Islands' most significant tourism market, accounting for over 40% of all international arrivals. Close to 6.3 million British tourists visited in 2024, marking an increase of over half a million compared to 2023. This figure is double that of German visitors, the second-largest market, which accounted for nearly three million tourists.

Reform to accept donations in Bitcoin, Farage says
Reform UK are now accepting donations in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, Nigel Farage has announced. The party leader told the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas he would 'launch in Britain a crypto revolution' and make London 'one of the major trading centres of the world'. The plans are part of Reform's Crypto Assets and Digital Finance Bill, which they would put into effect if they won the next general election. From Westminster to Washington DC - our political experts are across all the latest key talking points. Listen to the latest episode below... Farage told the conference: 'As of now, provided you are an eligible UK donor (…) we are the first political party in Britain that can accept donations in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.' 'Once again, we're being innovative,' he added. On the Reform UK website on Thursday evening, it was possible to make a donation using cryptocurrency. There was also a disclaimer stating that all donations are subject to Electoral Commission rules and that anonymous donations are not permissible. Farage said: 'My message to the British public, my message particularly to young people, is help us to help you bring our country properly into the 21st century. 'Let's recognise that crypto, Bitcoin, digital assets, are here to stay.' Announcing the crypto legislation that his party have drawn up, he also said 'we're going to have a Bitcoin digital reserve in the Bank of England'. In a video posted on his X account, Farage said: "America is leading the way in crypto and digital assets - what's happening in the UK? Nothing. "The Labour and Conservative parties don't even understand it, yet there are seven million British people that own crypto," he said. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin have increased in popularity in recent years, with research suggesting around 12% of adults in the UK own or have owned cryptoassets, up from 4% in 2021. Last month, Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced plans to regulate cryptoassets in a bid to make the UK a 'world leader'. She told a fintech conference that she would back the builders as she announced plans to make crypto firms subject to regulation in the same way as traditional finance companies.

Major change kicks in for EVERY driveway in England ‘to save months of delays and cut costs'
It hopes to accelerate the rollout of EVs CHARGING AHEAD Major change kicks in for EVERY driveway in England 'to save months of delays and cut costs' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR rule change has come for drivers around the UK in a positive move for home and vehicle owners. The change involves the installation of electric vehicle (EV) chargers for both public and private use. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The new driveway law is for every household in the UK Credit: Alamy 2 It is expected to save thousands of pounds a year and wait times Credit: Alamy There is a current target to install 300,000 chargers across the UK by 2030, a goal set out by the previous Conservative government. From this week, those wanting to install an EV charger will no longer require planning permission from a local authority. The new move by Labour is expected to save driver £1,100 a year, as well as months of delays. Liberty to install EV chargers was already the case for most on a private property with off-street parking. But for larger public developments, a green light from local authorities was required. CEO of charger provider Osprey, Ian Johnston, told Autocar last year: "The problem is you've got to go through a process which is under-resourced and takes six to nine months to get planning permission.' The process has been deemed a key bottleneck in the roll-out of the nation's EV and charging network. The Future of Roads Minister, Lilian Greenwood, said: "We're cutting down on paperwork to power up the EV revolution so that drivers, businesses and those looking to make the switch will have more charge points to power from and less red tape to deal with." These rule changes hope to help the "EV revolution" by what Ms Greenwood considers making it "easier than ever to install EV chargers" for EV drivers across the UK. The Labour MP continued: "We continue to make the switch to EVs easier, cheaper and better by investing over £2.3billion to support drivers and back British carmakers through international trade deals - creating jobs, boosting investment and securing our future as part of our Plan for Change." Audi launches NEW superfast charging hybrid with eye-watering price Operations Director at Osprey Charging Network, Lewis Gardiner welcomed the government's "practical change" in policy which he believes will make a "huge difference" for the industry. He added: "Removing the need for planning permission for essential electrical infrastructure like substations across the majority of sites will save months of delays, reduce costs and accelerate the delivery of the rapid charging hubs drivers need." Jack Counsens, head of roads policy at The AA, praised the positive step but said the government should be doing all it can: "The crucial element is ensuring grid connection in a timely manner. "This is especially important in rural locations and areas where there is no dedicated off-street parking." A charger mapping by firm Zap-Map has shown there were more than 79,000 publicly accessible charge points across the UK at the end of last month. This is an increase of 6,000 since the end of 2024, but just a quarter of the final goal for the next five years.
