Description
In the last episode before the summer break, EURACTIV’s Beyond the Byline podcast looks into the summer strikes across the continent. As Europe enters the summer season, a wave of transport strikes is causing significant disruptions to travel across the continent. Employees from various sectors, including air traffic controllers, security staff, cabin crews, and train personnel, are taking a stand demanding fair treatment, higher wages, and improved working conditions. These strikes have impacted airports, rail services, and other modes of transport in countries like France, England, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Germany, Belgium, and Portugal. With no end in sight for some of these industrial actions, travellers should brace themselves for potential delays and cancellations while unions continue to protest for their rights.
