Travel disruptions June 2011

Morning,
For this coming week we have:-
Aer Lingus strike starting 7 June Tuesday.
Tap Air Portugal several dates in June and July for industrial action.

No changes in Air Canada, Qantas and Virgin Atlantic situation, still threatening.
Spain rumours that delays out of Madrid by bad weather are phoney and that T4 (I think) where Iberia airlines is based out have severe delays daily.

Portugal trains sporadic strikes.
Heathrow Express will strike again later in the month.
Rome, several taxi strikes. Italy has several public transport strikes this month.
London underground rumblings.
Air Canada and Qantas still in tense negotiations

Israel trains possible strike July
Egyptian air traffic controllers strike this week
Greece several new dates mentioned for industrial action.
