CCOO, UGT and USO will start an indefinite strike tomorrow, Friday, at Groundforce, the handling company in Globalia, which operates at 11 other airports in Loiu and Aena, due to discrepancies within the negotiation of the new collective agreement.

Workers will make partial stops on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 5:00 to 7:00, from 11:00 to 17:00 and from 22:00 to 00:00.

In addition to the airport in Bilbao, the stops will affect cities such as Madrid, Barcelona or Palma de Mallorca. In addition, UGT has called a strike at the company Menzies, which offers ground services at other airports, from 2 April with Holy Thursday. The workers will mobilize to denounce the "lack of capacity" that the company organizes.

They will arrive on a holiday for many when the airports are full of people. There are 1,674 operations planned in Loiu alone during this period. They will connect Bilbao for the first time with Casablanca (Morocco) and Vienna. The busiest day will be Easter Monday, with 175 flights.
