Sit-in announced for tomorrow at TFS and TFN, with ratification of strike action at end of Augu

Many will be aware that unions have called for industrial action at the end of this month in Tenerife's airports. At present, all that is clear is that it will take place - in some form still to be clarirfied - between 27 and 30 August. Today, however, both north and south airports have announced that there will be a sit-in tomorrow between 8am and 8pm in protest at Aena's privatization. Unions have called for a final decision to be taken at the end of the sit-in to ratify strike action at the end of August. JA

Aena workers striking about the government privatisation plans have postponed tomorrow's day of action which was planned for TFS and TFN. The plans have been delayed for a few weeks, the committees say,  in order to establish a common action plan with other airports and relevant organizations and institutions.  JA

There has been much confusion as to whether the proposed and postponed planned action would cause any disruption on the intended "action days" between 27 and 30 August. As expected, it has been left until the last minute to announce what this will be, and it is that TFS and TFN workers will hold a demonstration at midday tomorrow, Thursday 28th, in Santa Cruz to coincide with the debate and vote over the legislation concerning the privatization of Aena. The Tenerife airport workers call on the public to support their protest. This will almost certainly not be the end of all this, but at least for the next few days, travellers do not appear to need to fear disruption. JA
