Ryanair cabin crew in Spain are set to strike this summer over working conditions and pay.
The strikes will take place on June 24, 25, 26 and 30 and on July 1 and 2, the USO union has announced.
Although UK staff have not announced strike action, it is likely that UK holidaymakers going to Spain will still be impacted.
It comes as the airline walked away from talks with unions USO and SITCPLA, according to Bloomberg.
The labour organisations now say they have "no other option" but to walk out if there is no uplift in pay and working conditions, the Mirror reports .
Last week a spokesperson for the SITCPLA said: “We’re coordinating our actions with European counterparts.”
USO and STCPLA said in a joint statement that Ryanair lacked commitment to dialogue and accused the airline of acting in bad faith.
Negotiations on a collective agreement made “almost made no progress” due to the unions’ “unrealistic demands and refusal to meaningfully engage,” a letter from Ryanair said following the failed talks.
It is unclear when the strikes will take place, and how many flights will be impacted.
A spokesperson for Ryanair told The Mirror last week: “Ryanair has negotiated collective agreements covering 90% of our people across Europe. In recent months we have been negotiating improvements to those agreements as we work through the Covid recovery phase.
"Those negotiations are going well and we do not expect widespread disruption this summer.
"In Spain, we are pleased to have reached a collective agreement with CCOO, Spain’s largest and most representative union, delivering improvements for Spanish-based cabin crew and reinforcing Ryanair’s commitment to the welfare of its cabin crew.
"These announcements by the much smaller USO and SITCPLA unions are a distraction from their own failures to deliver agreements after three years of negotiations and we believe that any strikes they call will not be supported by our Spanish crews.”
