British holidaymakers will face a summer of disruptive hotel strikes in the Balearic Islands after talks to avert walkouts broke down this evening.
Union chiefs decided to call six days of industrial action starting from July 10.
Further strikes have been scheduled for the 18th and 19th of July, the 25th, 26th and the 31st.
More than 180,000 workers employed in the hospitality sector in Majorca, Ibiza and Formentera are expected to take action, affecting not just hotels but also restaurants and other nightspots.
Confirmation attempts to resolve outstanding pay and condition issues between workers' representatives and employers had failed emerged last night.
