"A walkout by security check workers at Spain's busiest airport caused huge queues over the weekend, with waiting times of more than an hour and a half for thousands of passengers. The stoppages are expected to continue. The stoppage began on Sunday September 14th, resulting in many travellers missing their scheduled flights. The strike action has carried over to Monday September 15th, with yet more delays."
"Passenger checkpoint delays at Barajas Airport's Terminal 4, went from the usual 10-minute wait average to 95 minutes. On both days, those arriving with the normal two-hour window before their flights were in danger of missing them completely. A total of 21 out of over 800 Trabilsa security employees have joined the indefinite strike, denouncing the "exorbitant" workload at Barajas compared to other airports. Workers are demanding salary increases, compensation, and the implementation of a "Madrid bonus" for all airport staff."
