AENA Technicians at Barajas vote on strike action

 

The technical operations department at Madrid-Barajas airport have called ten days of strikes between February and May, AENA airports have confirmed in a statement.

The workers blame their action on AENA's refusal to allow the number of technicians company's technicians employed by the company to be increased inline with the network's expansion.

For their part, AENA claims that negotiations with the unions are ongoing.
