BBC World Service - World Business Report, Iberia workers begin four day strike

Hundreds of flights cancelled as baggage handlers walk out

Ground staff at Spanish airline Iberia have started a four-day strike - just when the country is celebrating the Epiphany holiday - a key part of Spain's Christmas celebrations.

Ground staff at Iberia have begun a four-day strike, causing the airline to cancel hundreds of flights. Workers are protesting against contracts signed with new providers at Spanish airports after talks between unions and the company broke down at a last-ditch meeting. 

Also, in the programme, Devina Gupta will look at this weekend’s elections in Bangladesh and will find out why the food retailer Carrefour has stepped away from Pepsi.
