Airport Workers in Europe Warn January Strikes in Five Countries
AtoZSerwisPlus.pl breaks down the strikes taking place in different countries across Europe in the upcoming weeks.
Spain: Airport Strikes in January
Iberia ground services staff in Spain went on a strike from January 5 to 8, affecting all 29 airports served by the country’s flag carrier. The strikes, initially planned for December and then suspended, disrupted some 444 flights from Iberia, Iberia Express, and Air Nostrum.
Additionally, airport security staff at Alicante-Elche airport will strike from January 1-14, impacting security controls and baggage handling during two daily two-hour walkouts from 8.45-9.45 am and 6-7 pm, as Euronews reports.
Passengers are advised to check for alternative flights as workers protest outsourcing, which may result in changes to their working conditions.
UK: London Tube Strikes Called Off
In a last-minute development, planned strikes on the London Underground from January 8-12 have been announced due to a revised pay offer by London Mayor Sadiq Khan. While the four-day walkout was called off just 20 minutes before commencement, some disruptions may still affect travel on Monday due to the unexpected cancellation.
Italy: Airport and Public Transport Strikes in January
Italy faces a nationwide public transport strike on January 24, affecting buses, trams, and subways. The same is expected to cause potential delays and cancellations for air travellers as air traffic controllers plan a walkout from 1-5 pm.
France: Train Workers Navigate Holiday Strikes
French rail unions SudRail and CGT des Cheminots decided not to strike during the Christmas and New Year period, offering relief to travellers, but as disputes over pay persist, walkouts could resume after the busy holiday season.
Germany: Train Drivers Announce Open-Ended Strikes
German train drivers plan to strike from January 10-12, with further strikes anticipated throughout 2024. The open-ended strikes, involving both train and freight workers, are a result of a longstanding dispute with train operator Deutsche Bahn over working conditions, pay, and hours.
Amidst the ongoing tensions, the German Train Drivers’ Union (GDL) faced accusations of a conflict of interest, potentially impacting their ability to negotiate collective agreements with railway companies.
Passengers, Always Be Prepared!
Regardless of the weather, tourists to Europe are always recommended to purchase travel insurance when travelling to the zone, as it can protect them from unexpected expenses.
Companies like AXA Travel Insurance, Europ Assistance, Allianz Travel Insurance, Mondial Care, Mutuaide and DR-WALTER offer some of the most affordable deals so that tourists can enjoy their trip to Europe at any time.
