Iberia ground crew to go ahead with Aug 30-31 Barcelona strike
Iberia's ground crew will go ahead with planned strikes at Barcelona El Prat Aug 30-31, trade union UGT said Wednesday, only a few hours after suggesting the stoppage could be called off. The Spanish union said earlier Wednesday it would cancel the strike to avoid delays for passengers during the peak holiday season and to facilitate ongoing talks with Iberia over working conditions. But a UGT spokesman said that this plan had collapsed after Iberia would not accept the formation of a monitoring committee by the local govt. Iberia said Wednesday evening that any monitoring committee would need to include other union groups or risk violating the existing collective bargaining agreement. <br/>
