Barcelona–El Prat: passenger-boarding bridge operators' July strike called off
CanceledLast Updated:
UGT called a strike by the staff who operate the passenger-boarding bridges ("fingers") at Barcelona–El Prat Airport — employees of EFS Mantenimiento y Servicios Técnicos (Adelte group) — over summer staff shortages.
How it developed:
- First announced as six 24-hour stoppages across late June and early July.
- Re-scheduled — the June dates were dropped and the action moved to nine days in July: 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19 and 20 July 2026.
- Called off on 3 July 2026, when the workers and the contractor reached a last-minute agreement and all nine July stoppages were cancelled.
Outcome: no strike ultimately took place; boarding-bridge operations at the airport were not disrupted.
This alert was originally created on 20 June 2026.
