A strike during September by
Ryanair cabin crew (unions Sictpla and
USO) will affect flights to and from Corvera.
The strike days announced are
September 1, 2, 6, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22, 27
and 28.
The unions are protesting against Ryanair plans to close bases in Gran
Canaria, South Tenerife and Gerona, which, they believe, will lead to staff
cuts.
RAIL STRIKES
Among other strikes during August the employees of RENFE have been taking
industrial action and this has led to cancellations and delays during the one
of the busiest months of the year, and has affected services such as AVE and
long distance services. Anyone intending to use the service is recommended to
check on the Internet to see if their train has been affected.
The next strike days announced by rail unions are August 31 and September 1.
Passengers who have incurred extra expenditure due to the strike, such as delays,
problems with accommodation etc, can claim expenses from RENFE. Passengers have
the right to exchange tickets or claim refunds in the event of cancellations.
Remember there is a Municipal Consumer Service in Calasparra, which has an
office in the Town Hall. If you don´t speak Spanish you will need to take an
interpreter.
