GSMA Says It Has Contingency Plans In Place For MWC Strike. Im Getting A Bike
This is definitely one way for unions to get some attention for their cause: as of this time of writing, public transport employees in Barcelona will be striking during the Mobile World Congress trade show, due to take place between February 27 and March 1. That means no buses and no metros (subways) for an event that last year attracted more than 60,000 people to the city -- many of whom did not walk or take cabs and limos across the sprawling Spanish metropolis to get around the event -- not the easiest to navigate even in the best of times.The organizers, the GSMA, is getting understandably worried that this news is going to hit the event hard: the idea of logistics chaos will end up keeping some people away, and those who do show up could end up leaving with a bad taste in their mouths for the future.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/bmrzQ9pb5kY/
