Industrial action had been called by the USO and Sitcpla unions at Ryanair’s 10 Spanish bases. These include Madrid, Malaga, Sevilla, Alicante, Valencia, Barcelona, Girona, Santiago de Compostela, Ibiza, and Palma de Mallorca. Today was the third day of action, following that of June 24 and 25. Further strikes are planned for June 30, and July 1 and 2.
