A planned strike by Portuguese immigration officers could cause long delays for holidaymakers over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The union representing SEF immigration officers has announced they will take further industrial action on August 24 and 25.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said that if the action goes ahead it could cause delays at airports. The SEF workers have been taking industrial action since January in a protest over the loss of certain rights, and in the past such action has led to airport queues of up to two hours.

At first , I though typical always a strike near bank holidays , but it's our bank holiday and guess there will be many travellers perhaps going to Portugal ? It's not a bank holiday in Portugal though , the nearest one is on August 15th which is The Mourinho Whinge Day , not really, its the Assumption of Mary .
No country could have that many bank holidays !! 😉

Speaking of airports, isn't the work at Faro supposed to have finished in June. It was still going strong in July when I last left it, is there a completion date?
The strike has been called off now. Happy holidays everyone.
