The USO union has denounced that "Ryanair has returned to minimum services on the third day of the cabin crew strike." It affirms that it has been able to verify that "more than 90% of the staff" have been summoned "both to operate flights and for guards at the airport," situations that it affirms that the Labor Inspectorate has been verifying "throughout this morning in Las Palmas, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Valencia, Madrid, and Girona."

In addition to these staff summonses, the union denounces that the Irish company has considered "99% of scheduled flights" as minimum services, violating the right to strike of Ryanair workers.

"During this third day of the strike, there are no cancellations because, first, the minimum services are abusive and do not allow the right to strike, and second, the company is abusing or exceeding by assigning more workers than it should to those minimum services," said Ernesto Iglesias, Head of Flight for USO Air Sector.

Thus, he explained that "the only form of protest that workers are using is the option not to pass the onboard sales service, which is being supported by the majority."

For the Head of Flight for USO Air Sector, "the problem is ceasing to be Ryanair. "The problem is the Government, the Ministry of Development, and the Ministry of Labor, who are doing absolutely nothing, who are not giving a clear response to the breaches and continuous illegalities committed by Ryanair," he criticized.
