Spanish Strike Leaves Beaches Without Lifeguards

Holidaymakers jetting off to the sunshine destination of Majorca are being warned to take extra precautions on beaches as lifeguards call an indefinite strike

Holidaymakers jetting off to the sunshine destination of Majorca are being warned to take extra precautions on beaches as lifeguards call an indefinite strike.

Up to 60 lifeguards covering the popular resorts in the capital of Palma are to start industrial action from Sunday, May 21st.

They are protesting over promised salary and labour improvements and are warning they will NOT comply with the legal requirement to provide minimum services.

That means the beaches of Platja de Palma, Cala Estancia, Ciutat Jardí, Portixol, Can Pere Antoni and Cala Major would be left unattended as the busy season swings into action.
