Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Belgian cabin crews will stop their activities on 25 and 26 July.
Ryanair plays this summer. The labor dispute that has erupted in recent months has crystallized into a historic strike call that threatens to paralyze Irish low-cost airline flights in four of its major markets – Spain, Portugal, Italy and Belgium – in high season summer
The cabin crew (TCP) of these countries filled his threat yesterday: he will stop on July 25 in Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Italy and the next day in the first three markets. The measure sponsored by the unions Sitcpla and USO (Spain), Snpvac (Portugal), Uiltrasporti (Italy) and CNE-LBC (Belgium) follows the wake of the pilot group in Ireland, which will stop on Tuesday 12 July and who could follow the commanders of other countries – there have already been partial stops at the end of last year –
In Spain, more than 1,800 TCP -4,000 totaling the four countries are called to strike. Italy is the second largest market for Ryanair, which has 86 bases spread across the Old Continent, while Spain, where the Irish are the leaders in terms of pbadenger volume, is the third. In the case of Ireland, it is estimated that the pilot strike will affect 7% of the company's flights
Labor Rights
The fundamental issue is the claim of the company. the staff, so that the company headed by Michael O. Leary, improves their working conditions, complies with the regulations in force in each country in terms of hiring and recognizes the representatives elected by each union to negotiate a collective agreement.
USE, 75% of Ryanair's staff are recruited by temporary work agencies, subject to Irish legislation, without a basic salary and only charging hours of flight, with consequent instability of the workforce. 39; work. The company, meanwhile, defended yesterday saying that "the demands of the TCP do not make sense, since they earn up to $ 47,000, more than double fixed salary, they work with a schedule of five days of work and three follow-ups of rest, receive free training and a bonus for uniforms of 400 euros per year and 10% incentives to sell products on board from the plane ", among others.
Ryanair maintains that the negotiations are open and convened the unions at a meeting on Wednesday to cancel the work stoppages. Pararelo, Sitcpla and USO will go to a conciliation in the Interconfederal Service of Mediation and Arbitration (Sima). For its part, the National Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) reminded yesterday that pbadengers traveling by air this summer are entitled to information, badistance and reimbursement or alternative transportation if your flight is delayed or canceled.
New Stage
The confrontation with the unions could put Ryanair in check for the second year in a row. In 2017, the airline suffered the biggest operational crisis in its history. A serious mistake in planning their pilots' breaks forced the low cost to cancel, overnight, about 20,000 flights and pay $ 29 million to compensate the 700,000 pbadengers affected. The misstep was also a historic change: the Irish airline contacted the unions for the first time in 32 years and agreed to negotiate salary improvements for its pilots and TCP to ease the discontent.
Ryanair has 86 base operations in Europe and North Africa and, as of March 31, 2017, had 13,026 employees. In its most recently completed financial year, March 31, 2018, Ryanair earned US $ 1,705 million, up 10%. The turnover has increased by 8% to 7151 million euros, thanks among other things to a 9% increase in pbadenger traffic, which has exceeded 130 million per year.
In 2017, Lufthansa ousted Ryanair's pbadenger volume. However, the low cost remains insoluble in Spain, where it extends its distance from Vueling and Iberia, its main competitors, month after month.
