Ryanair unions threaten strike action in SpainSeven cabin crew unions in Spain and Europe will strike if working conditions aren’t improvedSeven trade unions representing Ryanair cabin crew, including the Spanish USO and SITCPLA, have threatened a Europe-wide strike this summer if there is no “substantial” change in working conditions. According to a USO statement, the unions are demanding improvements in several areas of basic labour rights, including ending remuneration below the minimum wage and ceasing the hiring of new staff through what it deems to be illegal means. The unions have also criticised the budget airline for ignoring several court rulings and failing to adapt to the various national laws and social standards of the countries in which it operates. Finally, Michael O’ Leary’s company has been accused of operating incomprehensible and poorly prepared payrolls, a lack of overall transparency in the staff transfer system and in career advancements. The seven unions involved have also condemned local governments, who they say are “too cautious” in challenging Ryanair, “leaving workers defenceless against ‘social dumping’ and passengers exposed to disruption.”You might also like: Holidaymakers travelling to Spain warned of major airline cutbacksImage: Archive
