Spain’s airport security go on strike
ANKARA Spain August 12 2019
Private security staff of Barcelona’s El Prat airport went on an indefinite strike Friday to demand better working conditions, according to a Spanish daily.
El Mundo reported that the strike was called by some 500 guards on Thursday after a mediation meeting with the Trablisa security firm failed.
The firm has said it will have difficulty in securing a minimum service of 90% during the strike as demanded by the government.
The situation could complicate during the day as El Prat is in full summer season with a thousand flights scheduled for Friday.
The airport is facing the second strike in less than two weeks following Iberia Airlines’s ground staff strike in late July.
