Iberia strikers face legal action
Spanish airline Iberia is planning to ask a court to declare a pilots' strike illegal if the two sides cannot reach a compromise soon. Its pilots began a week-long strike on Monday, protesting at Iberia's plans to launch a low-cost airline - which they fear will lead to pay and job cuts. Hundreds of flights have been cancelled during the airline's busiest week of the year.
