Baggage Handler Strikes Anticipated in Spain

April 24, 2017

Baggage handlers are expected to strike at Palma de Mallorca airport later this month and throughout May.

According to a report from Euro Weekly News, strikes on April 29, May 3, 18 and 28 could result in delays for travelers passing through the Balearic hub. Two unions are leading the work stoppage, which is focused on workers’ rights during the upcoming summer season.

The report states the strike announcement follows a chaotic Easter weekend, which saw thousands of British travelers facing lengthy delays at passport control due to increased security checks.
