BRITS heading to Spain this summer have been warned to expect six days of flight strikes.
Ryanair cabin crew working in Spain have voted to go on strike for six days across June and July.
Spanish staff in the USO and SITCPLA unions will walk out for two three-day strikes.
This will take place from June 24 to June 26 and June 30 to July 2.
USO’s general secretary of the Ryanair section Lidia Arasanz, said, according to Bloomberg: “We have to resume mobilisation so that the reality of our situation is known and Ryanair is forced to abide by basic labour laws.”
While UK Ryanair crew have not voted to strike, it will affect the thousands of Brits hoping to head to Spain this summer.
