after it declared all of its flights as minimum services

in Spain during the first day of the strike.

The stoppages were called for June 24, 25, 26 and 30, as well as July 1 and 2.

violating the right to strike

that every worker has. We are studying legal actions, yesterday the company was made aware that what it was doing was illegal.

We have contacted the labor inspectorate

so that it appears in the airports and confirm this situation," union sources tell EL MUNDO.

The situation at the

Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas

airport early in the morning was

completely normal

.

Barely a dozen trade unionists have appeared at T-1 in the Spanish capital on the first day of the strike.

The calm that Barajas was breathing has only been interrupted by the arrival of the media at the Ryanair counter, where the spokesperson for the unions has attended to the press.

"The situation is frustrating, they have left the right to strike empty. The company has informed all workers that all flights are minimum services, threatening disciplinary sanctions. It cannot be that workers do not have the right to something fundamental," he says. union spokesperson.

In the event of cancellations over the successive days of the strike, Ryanair passengers who see their flights canceled will be entitled to

receive financial compensation worth 250 euros

for flights up to 1,500 kilometers away.

The affected countries are: Belgium, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal.

Unlike the panorama shown by Spanish airspace, in Belgium, according to the unions, the stoppage "is total".

Passengers

have

been "

surprised

" at the deployment of the media.

Many of them have gone to consult the press itself for information about the status of their flights.

These have "breathed a sigh of relief" to learn that they had not suffered delays or cancellations.

"I don't know exactly what they are claiming, I hope they fix it, it can't be that we arrive at the airport without knowing if we are going to be able to fly," says a group of young people bound for Mallorca.
