Ryanair strike

Unions representing some of Ryanair's Spanish cabin staff have said they'll strike on six days in late June and early July. The news means potential ...

Recent announcements by the much smaller USO and SITCPLA unions are a distraction from their own failures to deliver agreements after three years of negotiations and we believe that their strike calls will not be supported by our Spanish crews.” Unions estimate that Ryanair has around 1,400 crew based in Spain. A strike, if it happens, will heap pressure on the travel industry struggling to get back into full flow following two years of lockdowns and add to uncertainty for travellers. Those negotiations are going well and we do not expect widespread disruption this summer,” a spokesman said.

While UK Ryanair staff have not announced a strike, the industrial action could impact Brits flying to Spanish destinations this summer.

Earlier this month, TUI said that it would be cancelling "all holidays to Sri Lanka departing up to and including 30 June 2022" and would pro-actively contact any customers whose holidays are affected, in departure date order. Meanwhile, TUI has announced it has cancelled more flights to Sri Lanka amid ongoing political unrest in the country. The Foreign Office warned people from the UK not to travel to the country unless it was absolutely essential.

"In Spain, we are pleased to have reached a collective agreement with CCOO, Spain’s largest and most representative union, delivering improvements for Spanish-based cabin crew and reinforcing Ryanair’s commitment to the welfare of its cabin crew.

With most COVID-related travel restrictions lifted in many countries in recent months, demand for summer travel has bounced back, leaving airlines and airport operators struggling to hire staff fast enough to handle the flow of passengers and offer them attractive working conditions.

Spanish trade unions call for flight crews to walk out from June 24 to July 2 to demand better work conditions.

Ryanair is the only international airline that does not have a collective bargaining agreement that defines workplace conditions for its Spanish employees, according to the trade unions.

Spanish trade unions have called on staff at low-cost airline Ryanair to hold a six-day strike at the start of the holidays, the latest action by aviation industry workers to demand better conditions in Europe.

Demand for flying has bounced back rapidly after the pandemic but businesses have been unable to quickly rehire staff, after thousands were laid off. Those negotiations are going well and we do not expect widespread disruption this summer.” Ryanair played down the prospect of any threat to its summer flying, with the airline expecting to operate more flights in its peak-season schedule than it did in 2019.
