The case – Ryanair threatens economic reprisals against an employee who went on strike | Liguria | economy

<! – ->

Ryanair sent a letter to an employee who operates in a major airport in southern Italy threatening economic and especially career reprisals following the choice to join the strike of pilots and flight attendants , which led yesterday to cancellation of 132 flights only in our country. In the letter dated July 26, Dublin – which La Stampa came into possession – says: "All absences are recorded and taken into account with all relevant performance factors to evaluate promotions and transfer opportunities". A particularly clear message

The letter is signed by Thomas McLoughlin Flight Operations Manager, and address to the worker, who is based in a large airport in the south of our country. A letter that probably reached all the other employees who chose yesterday to sit back and ask for better contractual terms, not only in Italy but also in Belgium, Spain and Portugal. In our country, the strike was triggered by Filt Cgil and Uiltrasporti and caused problems in some Italian bases of the company.

Ryanair in this letter speaks of "unauthorized absence". And therefore, wrote the director, " for July 25, you will not receive basic payments allowances, industry compensation or monthly productivity bonuses. I confirm that your salary will be adjusted accordingly in August ". Ryanair has not adopted this behavior for the first time, especially with regard to possible promotions and transfers: in December, a letter was sent to all employees of the base in Italy, who declared that anyone participating in the strike would lose

Meanwhile, the Italian authorities want to see clearly on the behavior of the company, already in recent days accused by the unions of anti-union maneuvers to replace the striking staff. The attacker asked ENAC to urgently communicate on the situation. "Any retaliation against the workers who joined the Ryanair strike is an unacceptable attack," says Fabrizio Cuscito, national coordinator of Filt Cgil. For this reason, the unions ask Ministers Danilo Toninelli (Transport) and Luigi Di Maio (Labor) that the company should be called to have "explanations on the issue and to protect workers and the right to strike."
