The grievances are related to salary and the creation of permanent employment in all airports with workforce below 65%.
Groundforce, the subsidiary handling company of Globalia, will begin indefinite strikes starting in July. The strike will affect some of the main airports and various major airlines. The strike is the result of the inability to come to an agreement over the third collective bargaining agreement between the company and the trade unions. Some of the grievances are related to salary and the creation of permanent employment in all airports where the workforce with an indefinite contract is below 65%. The strike will involve over 3,500 workers including passenger and loading/unloading handling operators. Meanwhile, the Madrid Ryanair handling strike is still ongoing.
