Spanish unions have threatened 22 days of strikes starting just ahead of Easter and running through until August

Union leaders will meet Jose Blanco, Spain’s development minister, in an attempt to settle the dispute over plans to privatise the country’s airports.
Spanish unions have threatened 22 days of strikes starting just ahead of Easter and running through until August.
They have called key workers out, including firemen without whom airports cannot operate as well as baggage handlers and back office staff.
A stoppage would not only shut Spain’s airport’s, but could have an impact elsewhere, warned a spokesman for the International Air Transport Association, the body representing scheduled airlines.
“If you take one country out of the network, there could be problems,” he said.
