IBERIA baggage handlers at Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport have been called out on strike on 21 and 28 August by the UGT trade union. The trade union explained that it felt forced to call the strike in protest as more than 10 percent of staff were off sick and regardless of the hectic rhythm of work at the busy airport, nobody had been taken on to cover leaves. The workers claim bad planning on the management’s part is to blame and say they are paying with their health.
