USO

USO is a Spanish labor union, specifically mentioned alongside CC.OO. and UGT, that represents airport ground handling staff. They are newsworthy due to their involvement in calling for strikes at Groundforce, a ground handling company owned by Globalia, affecting 12 Spanish airports. These strikes are occurring during peak travel periods, such as Semana Santa and the start of vacation season, leading to flight delays. The strikes are a result of disputes over working conditions and are impacting operations at major airports like Barajas and El Prat. While the unions claim success, the impact has been somewhat mitigated by high minimum service requirements imposed. The situation is relevant as it highlights labor disputes within the aviation sector and the potential disruption to travel during busy periods.
