EasyJet cabin crew strike sees flights cancelled to Spain
The Unión Sindical Obrera, (USO) the Spanish trade union, has confirmed that the strike will take place from June 25, and will also impact passengers looking to travel on June 26 and June 27. Around 657 members of cabin crew will join the strike, affecting 21 aircraft. Spanish airports in Barcelona, Alicante, Malaga, and Majorca will be hit by the walkout, following a negotiation for higher wages. This is likely to affect thousands of Brits heading to Spain this month if the strike goes ahead, and there could be knock-on consequences for other flights due to aircraft being grounded in Spanish airports. There's also a 24-hour general transport strike across Italy, which will affect air travel as well as trains and public transport. Taking place on June 19, it will run from 9pm until the June 20, finishing at 9pm, with baggage handlers and ground crew downing tools. The strike comes amid a demand for wages increases and renewed contracts, as well as reduced working hours and more funding for public services. Hundreds of flights have also been cancelled due to a strike by the Finnish Aviation Union, hitting 6,000 Finnair passengers, with more strikes are expected to take place on June 19. Recommended reading: What is a strike? According to ACAS, an official strike is when a trade union has followed all the legal rules. This includes holding a ballot for members to vote. A strike is unofficial if a trade union does not follow the rules, or employees take action that's not authorised by a union. In an official strike, employees are protected by industrial action law.
