In the middle of the summer season, the low-cost airline Ryanair cancels 600 flights for a strike next week. Flight cancellations on Wednesday and Thursday (July 25 and 26) will likely affect about 100,000 pbadengers, the company said on Wednesday, about twice as much as originally planned.
They should offer alternative flights or refund the ticket price be. The reasons are the cabin crew strikes in Spain, Portugal and Belgium. Italy could also be affected.
The unions want to enforce the fact that the cabin crew members of these countries are employed under applicable labor law, and not under the Irish laws where Ryanair's head office is located. In addition, permanent and temporary workers should receive equal pay.
Ryanair: strikes do nothing
Chief Marketing Officer Kenny Jacobs blames the unions severely: "These strikes are absolutely unjustified and will only allow families to leave. At best, it would benefit competing airlines in the States concerned.
Ryanair has long been accused of paying its employees a lot less than other low-cost airlines. The company denies it. Last year, Ryanair, after many pressures, agreed to recognize the unions.
