) directly employed pilots in Ireland on Friday voted in favor of industrial action unless pay demands are met swiftly, with Spanish pilots also threatening to join growing unrest at the airline.
Ryanair managed to quell the disputes by reaching deals with many unions in Europe on pay and allowances, but it has yet to move beyond recognition agreements with others and further angered unions by telling staff 10 days ago that it had 900 more pilots and crew than it needed. “They feel they have been forced into contemplating potentially disruptive industrial action by a company that seems either unwilling or unable to negotiate in a professional and constructive manner,” Forsa’s assistant general secretary, Ian McDonnell, said in a statement.“At this stage, only a substantive counter-proposal, which properly addresses all areas of our claim, will be enough to prevent us serving notice of industrial action next week.
“Our group is nervous and fed up with the continued abuse by Ryanair,” SEPLA said in a statement late on Thursday. “We are going to show them that we are willing to do everything possible to avoid these unnecessary dismissals.”
