“Given the inflexibility of the proposals presented by ANA/VINCI over the last year and the attempt to reduce rights enshrined in the Company Agreement, attacking the rights that workers have achieved over decades, SINTAC and SQAC consider it urgent to end this blind policy and put an end to all this instability”, say the unions in a press release.

The strike notice was issued after consultation with workers and, according to the document, will cover “all workers at all ANA airports, under the concession of the Vinci Aeroportos group”, coming into force at 00:00 on 19 August and extending until the end of 21 August.

SINTAC and SQAC point out that this notice comes “after several attempts, over the last few years, to prevent a strike from going ahead”.
