Our guide is updated as soon as a new European strike is announced.
ADVERTISEMENTStrikes are a regular occurrence in Europe, as employees withhold their labour to fight for better pay and conditions.
Walkouts are sometimes planned months ahead but others are announced last minute, showing that it always pays to check before you travel.
Luckily, we have gathered all of the strike information together below.
Read on to find out where and when are walkouts taking place.
If your flight or train is cancelled or delayed, you will be entitled to a new ticket or compensation. Read our guide for the full details.
UK: Heathrow Border Force worker strikes in May and June
Border Force staff at Britain's busiest airport, Heathrow, will go on strike on 31 May and 1 and 2, a busy travel time during the country's school holidays, as they continue their protest over changes to their working conditions.
The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union said staff in terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 would also refuse to work overtime for three weeks from 4 June, taking action against Britain's interior ministry which has changed their roster system.

France strikes: Could strikes hit the Paris Olympics?
CGT-RATP union members announced a seven-month strike notice from 5 February to 9 September that could hit the Ile-de-France bus and metro network - including during this summer's Olympic Games.
However, the French Senate adopted a bill on 9 April to allow the state to ban transport strikes for set periods each year to avoid disruption during major events like Paris 2024. It also calls for more advance warning of strikes and increased minimum service obligations.
The bill faces opposition and must be adopted by the French National Assembly before it becomes law.
Workers at the state-owned public transport company say they are walking out over pay.
Germany: Threat of train strikes ends
On 25 March, Deutsche Bahn reached an agreement with Germany’s GDL train drivers' union, bringing an end to five months of negotiations and strikes.
The deal means that GDL will abstain from strikes until at least February 2026.
If you know of a big strike happening in your country that we have missed, we'd love to hear from you via Twitter.
