"The strike is due to begin on April 17th midnight and will affect workers employed by Saerco at Madrid-Cuatro Vientos airports, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, El Hierro, La Gomera, Castellon, Burgos, Huesca, Ciudad Real, Vigo, A Coruna, Jerez and Seville airports."
"The unions stated that their decision to call the strike is intended to denounce the lack of staff, the deterioration of working conditions and its impact on operational safety at the above airports."
"They maintain that the conflict is not due to isolated incidents, but to a structural problem stemming from years of staff reductions, excessive workload, organisational improvisation and non-compliance with regulations regarding rest, work-life balance and service planning."
Air traffic controllers at 14 smaller airports in Spain are set to strike starting April 17, coinciding with ongoing indefinite strikes by ground handling staff at major airports. The stoppages will impact airports including Madrid-Cuatro Vientos, Lanzarote, and Seville, potentially disrupting travel for events like the Copa del Rey final and Feria de Abril. Unions cite chronic understaffing, excessive workloads, and deteriorating working conditions as reasons for the strike, emphasizing a structural problem rather than isolated incidents.
