Barcelona airport workers call new strike

The labor dispute between security workers at Barcelona airport and Eulen — the private company appointed by state-owned Aena to handle security — was expected to end last Thursday with the announcement of a mandatory settlement following a compulsory arbitration imposed by the Spanish government. Spanish infrastructure minister, Íñigo de la Serna, said the arbitration had “put an end” to the conflict.

So far, though, the dispute seems very likely to continue.

Security staff called new strikes for October 6 arguing that their working conditions remain poor and some improvements included in the final agreement are not being respected by Eulen.
