Anybody travelling in Spain in the next few weeks should be aware that the air traffic controllers are voting to strike today . The hardest hit would be Madrid , Barcelona and Islas Canarias . The government , apparently , have contingency plans to bring in the military but there could be disruption . It´s worth keeping an eye on the news .

Just received the following message:
"Spanish air traffic controllers' union [v dishy] spokesman says 'if there is a strike, it'll be after Aug 16, most probably 18 or 20' '. Other air traffic controller union rep (not so dishy) saying they want improved work/safety regulations on par with Brit counterparts"

The airline unions promised not to strike during the month of August , but will continue negotiations with airport management . There is the possibility of strikes in September . European trade unions are very agressive and will not hesitate to stage wildcat strikes . To be honest , I was surprised ( and relieved ) that they decided not to strike during this month ... probable reason is that most of THEM don´t want THEIR holiday plans disrupted !!!
