The cabin crew will stop on June 24, 25, 26 and 30 and on July 1 and 2 to resume negotiations on the first collective labor agreement
Ryanair cabin crew will go on strike for six days at the start of the summer season. USO and Sitcpla unions announced this Monday calling for a six-day strike on June 24, 25, 26 and 30, as well as July 1 and 2.
The workers complain that today they have been unable to sign their first collective agreement with the airline, assuring that “Ryanair has enforced this strike”, forcing them to “abide by the application of fundamental labor rights and judicial penalties.” “. », they explain from the unions that they held a press conference in Madrid on Monday to announce the mobilizations.
About 1,200 cabin crew (called TCP) are currently employed by Ryanair, who spent eight months negotiating the first collective agreement with the company, but they assure the airline “has gone off the table” after reaching an agreement with CC OO (Working Commissions) – union without implantation among the company’s aircrew after the announcement of these mobilizations.
The representatives of these employees assure that Ryanair has no collective agreement in any of the countries where it operates. It has specific agreements in some countries, such as Belgium, Italy or Portugal, but “they don’t even comply”, they denounce. “Ryanair has problems everywhere and with all groups of workers because it does not comply with everything it draws,” they say, referring to the terms of the airline’s pilots who will in principle not join the strike.
The company has signed an agreement of “precarious terms” of the TCP with CC OO, the majority union among many groups, but not among Ryanair’s flight staff or any airline, the convening unions denounced. This agreement contains points such as the salary increase of 1,000 euros in 2022 and 800 euros in 2023, but according to USO that is already in the won sentence of the National Supreme Court that the at the start of the pandemic.
The strikes are taking place in the ten bases in Spain (Madrid, Malaga, Barcelona, Alicante, Seville, Palma de Mallorca, Valencia, Girona, Santiago de Compostela and Ibiza) and will last 24 hours on the days indicated. It is not yet known what the minimum services they will be forced to provide.
It should be borne in mind that TCPs are still not entitled to the 22 working days of annual vacation that all employees have in Spain, nor to the 14 national holidays. In other words, Ryanair is still not applying Spanish labor law, they say.
