Airport workers have called off 22 days of strikes which threatened to cause major disruption over the Easter holidays and into the summer. Union members voted to cancel the strike after have received guarantees over job security and conditions. The strikes were called over concerns about the part-privatisation of national airport operator Aena. Union leaders said about 70% of their more than 10,000 members voted to call off the industrial action.
