I have picked up a rumour that he is going to be a transport strike over the Easter weekend.
Can anyone shed any light on this :?

Sunday Times TRAVEL section ran a story on Sunday, starting with:

Passengers heading to Spain in April face disruption and delay after Spanish transport unions voted to strike for four days over the Easter holidays. Members of the CCOO and USO unions, which represent 65% of airport workers, will walk out on April 12, 13, 16 and 17 in mainland Spain and the Balearics. The action has been timed to cause maximum disruption during the holiday period.

Is this another of those threatening posturing upheavals like the one last year?

Well that's boosted my stress levels nicely Nige. Why oh why didn't we book the flight on the 11th. instead of the 12th.

Does anyone know if there is any news on whether this is still on the cards - or are we expecting it to go up to the wire?

Apart from all this, the French are having quite few ATC strikes which delay aircraft coming to and from Spain, this has been going on for some weeks now and I have been hit by it flying up to UK .
