Workers at Madrid's Adolfo Suárez Barajas airport have called a strike for the last weekend of August to protest the privatisation of the state-owned airport operator AENA.
Workers at Madrid's Adolfo Suárez Barajas airport have called a strike for the last weekend of August to protest the privatisation of the state-owned airport operator AENA. The workers called off their initial strike for August 15th and 17th but have now decided to hold it from Friday 29th to Sunday 31st. The trade union CGT-Aena, representing the disgruntled airport workers, has sent out a press release arguing that their call for negotiations with the Ministry of Public Works and Barajas authorities has fallen on deaf ears.
