Ibiza Airport Cleaners Strike Continues

The staff of the Ibiza airport cleaning service have rejected an offer from airport operator AENA to end the strike that has been in effect since 16 May. 

AENA had proposed a joint payment plan with the new company who have been awarded the cleaning concession but the mainly female workforce met and decided to decline the offer and maintain the industrial action.

The workforce consider it essential that the offer is received in writing with details of when and how much they will be paid. The previous concessionaire, Kle, owes them 3 months salary including May.

After 6 days of strike action the terminal is in a disgraceful condition with bins overflowing, rubbish everywhere and filthy floors.  Many news outlets have reported that the airport is now a health risk but AENA has so far refused to describe the situation as an emergency.
