Ryanair cabin crew announce three strikes in January
30/12/2018
ANOTHER cabin crew strike has been announced after Irish-based budget airline Ryanair and staff unions in Spain failed to reach an agreement.
According to SITCPLA and USO, representatives of Spanish-based employees of the heavily-used carrier, say Ryanair is continuing to refuse to adhere to national labour laws where these suppose an improvement in working conditions on those of the Republic of Ireland, where the company is based.
Also, Ryanair is recruiting temporary cabin crew via ‘illegal agencies’, say the two unions.
Strikes will take place across Spanish airports on Tuesday, January 8; Thursday, January 10, and Sunday, January 13, SITCPLA and USO reveal, saying they are ‘willing to agree to a transition period’ for the company to comply with employment legislation in Spain, but that they urge the government to ‘put Ryanair in its place once and for all’.
Both unions have given Ryanair 10 days’ grace to agree to accept Spanish labour laws, saying they will call off the strikes if they get a firm guarantee.
The company has reportedly announced it is willing to accept employment legislation in France and Germany for its staff based there where this conflicts with Irish law and is more favourable to workers, but has not done so as yet with the legal framework for Spain.
