Are Ryanair crew going to strike? Dates and which routes are ... (The Times)

Over 40 Ryanair flights were cancelled in mid-June due to strike action by the airline's French crew and more are confirmed for June and July by its staff in ...

If your flight is cancelled or delayed as a result of the planned strike action by cabin crew, or other airline staff, you could be entitled to compensation. If you decide not to travel because your new flights are too expensive, you could be left out of pocket for any hotels or other accommodation you’ve already booked. Flights to and from Spain will be the most heavily impacted if only the Spanish crew walk out. The first of these will be on June 24, 25, and 26, while the second will be on June 30, July 1 and 2. At the moment, the only upcoming Ryanair strikes are the two, three-day walkouts planned by the airline’s Spanish staff, represented by the USO and SITCPLA unions. While most of these issues have been blamed on Covid-related staff shortages, there’s a new threat on the horizon for would-be holidaymakers hoping for a relatively pain-free getaway: a summer of strikes.

So you’re talking single digit employee numbers being represented by a union who is making an awful lot of noise in the media.” Ryanair staff in France went on strike on Sunday and Monday - resulting in the cancellation of 40 flights; Mr Brady admitted that this amounted to “some disruption” but added that “in the overall context of ‘chaos’ as you described, we’re not envisaging that and we do everything that we can to minimise disruption.” He continued that the number of staff represented by the unions in questions was relatively small and claimed that the media had blown the issue out of proportion:

“We have to bring water from home or go to refill the bottles we have at the Ryanair offices, which can be a 15-minute walk from the plane. As the union rep explains, this type of indefinite contract means that if a person works hours, they get paid and if not, they do not receive anything. Regarding salaries, she indicated that, as an example, a ‘lower’ level member of cabin crew starts working for the airline at a base salary of €750 per month. “We held binding assemblies and the workers appointed USO and Sitcpla as negotiators at this table. However, for now, the positions of the parties are so far apart that everything indicates that the strike is inevitable. During the last strike, in September 2019, the Ministry of Transport established such a high minimum services requirement that the strike was hardly felt.

It comes after Ryanair staff plan to go on strike due to labour conditions and issues with pay.

The upcoming strikes were announced after Ryanair walked away from talks with the union over what the airline described as "unrealistic demands and refusal to meaningfully engage."
