Ryanair unions call for new weekly strikes from August to January

The conflict in the skies seriously complicates the summer and can extend throughout the fall.

The unions that represent the cabin crew that Ryanair have called

to the company's refusal to negotiate.

This has been announced by USO and Sitcpla, the main unions, in a joint statement, after submitting the stoppages to consultation with the workers.

They have been on strike throughout the month of July to demand that the Irish low-cost company apply Spanish labor legislation, as well as a salary increase.

The stoppages will take place

The unions justify the strikes in that "Ryanair has not shown the slightest attempt to approach the unions but, on the contrary, has publicly stated its refusal to engage in any dialogue with the representatives chosen by its crew."

In addition, now they also ask for

during the previous calls in June and July for supporting the strike and the stoppage and filing of all sanctioning files open to approximately 100 workers for the same reason. .

The Ryanair strike, added to that of other airlines such as Easyjet or Lufthansa, threatens not only to complicate the summer, the first of the recovery after the pandemic, but also to threaten it.

The June and July strikes have already forced the cancellation of more than 250 flights and thousands of delays.

In Germany,

the union representing some 20,000 ground crew workers has also called strikes to demand a pay rise, causing Lufthansa to cancel more than 1,000 flights from Frankfurt and Munich airports.
