Spain: Baggage handling staff plan to strike at airports nationwide Jan. 5-8
Airport baggage handling workers represented by the CCOO, UGT, and USO plan to strike nationwide Jan. 5-8. Iberia, Iberia Express, and Air Nostrum have already canceled approximately 461 flights in anticipation of the action. The industrial action had previously been planned for Dec. 29-31 and then postponed pending further negotiations. However, the strike was subsequently confirmed for Jan 5-8, prompted by working conditions deemed unsatisfactory by the unions. The action will disrupt airport operations and flight schedules nationwide; further cancellations are possible. Long queues are likely for passenger processing procedures. As airports deal with passenger backlogs, lingering flight disruptions are likely following the strike's conclusion.<br/>
