The UGT union has called a nationwide strike at Azul Handling, Ryanair’s ground handling subsidiary in Spain, starting August 15, 2025, and continuing every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until December 31.
The strike will impact all Spanish bases, including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Malaga, Alicante, Ibiza, Palma, Girona, Tenerife Sur, Lanzarote, and Santiago, during key time slots: 05:00–09:00, 12:00–15:00, and 21:00–23:59.
The union cites coercion to work overtime, disproportionate disciplinary actions, lack of stable employment, and violations of labour rights as key reasons. Punishments of up to 36 days without pay for refusing extra hours have been reported. UGT also accuses the company of ignoring union agreements and obstructing family-work balance rights.
Mediation has been requested before SIMA, but UGT places full responsibility for the disruption on Azul Handling’s alleged abusive labour practices.
