The airport authority AENA has initiated disciplinary proceedings against 442 workers who took part in the wildcat strike which closed Spanish airspace for a total of eighteen hours on Friday and Saturday.
Those targeted are, in the main, workers who reported sick without any proof or documentation to support their illness and those who claimed to have already worked the maximum number of hours permitted.
The outcome of any proceedings could vary from the case being ‘filed’ to suspension without pay or even dismissal from their post.
