A RUBBISH collection strike at Ibiza airport is becoming a health issue with travellers complaining about the 'intolerable smell', bins overflowing and heaps of plastic bottles, cans and food wrappers all over the floor in the waiting areas.
Workers who have downed tools are protesting over the fact they have not been paid for three months.
After not having earned a salary since January, they say they have been left in an extreme situation, unable to pay rent or mortgages, electricity and water bills, and with no money to buy food or even pay transport costs to get to work.
They have now been on strike for eight days and, whilst passengers do not blame them, their experience of travelling through Ibiza airport is extremely unpleasant.
As yet, the rubbish collection franchise firm has not commented on the situation.
