Switzerland: Airport security workers end strike at Geneva Airport late June 30 following agreement with airport management /update 3

Event

Workers at Geneva Airport (GVA), represented by the Swiss Public Services Union (SSP), ended their strike late June 30 following an agreement with the airport management. The strike was initially planned to occur 04:00-10:00 June 30 before being extended; the issue relates to a salary dispute. The work stoppage, which involved some 1,000 employees, resulted in flight cancellations at GVA, impacting at least 8,000 passengers the morning of June 30.

Lingering disruptions are likely through at least early July 1 as the airport deals with passenger backlogs and airlines reposition aircraft and crew.
