MALLORCA TODAY - Hope on agreement in hotel workers' dispute

The intervention of the Balearics arbitration tribunal has led to hope that the planned strike by hostelry workers on 20 July will be avoided. Though negotiations are said to remain "difficult", noises from the tribunal suggest that today could see a breakthrough. The workers have been demanding an increase in salaries of almost 3% rather than the 0.5% that has been on the table and have been rejecting mooted changes to working hours. Meanwhile, there is no word as yet of any movement on the planned strike by coach drivers set to take place on 21 and 22 July.
