Brit tourists face holiday chaos with strikes confirmed for 180,000 hospitality staff throughout July on hotspot islands

STRIKES have been confirmed for 180,000 hospitality staff throughout July on a number of hotspot islands.

Hotels, restaurants and night-life venues in the Balearic Islands will be hit by the walkouts, sparking chaos for thousands of British tourists.

Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca which are usually bursting with holidaymakers will be affected by the strikes.

The alert was raised on June 26 after unions walked out of meeting where issues of pay and working conditions were being discussed.

The UGT union rejected the 11 per cent wage increase offer, calling it insufficient.
