Good news: Spain airport unions call off strike

Not so much a question as an , since I hadn't seen it here. The Spanish airport unions have called off the strike planned for next month. http://www.cnbc.com/id/42264175 From the linked article "Spanish airport workers have voted to call off 22 days of strike action, a spokesman from Spain's largest union CCOO said on Friday, averting disruption over peak holiday periods between April and August. "A total of 70 percent of votes were in favour of calling off the strike, with 29.7 votes against and a couple of abstentions," the CCOO spokesman said. Spanish airport operator AENA and unions reached a preliminary agreement to call off the action on March 16 which took on board workers' concerns over labour conditions and job security related to the planned privatisation of the operator ."

Thanks for posting! I was getting a little worried, since my departure date was the day after a planned strike.

Yeah, we were scheduled to come back from Spain the day of a planned strike but no longer a worry.
