Ryanair's cabin crew (TCP) are back on strike from this Monday, August 8 until January 7, with weekly 24-hour stoppages that will take place from Monday to Thursday.
From the USO and SITCPLA unions, which represent the crew of said airline, they criticize Ryanair's "refusal to negotiate" to agree on a new collective agreement that applies to all TPC in Spain, so "they have been forced to continue with the strike and call new days", which are added to those of the months of June and July.
"It has not shown the slightest attempt to approach the unions but, on the contrary, has publicly stated its refusal to enter into any dialogue with the representatives elected by its crew," says the Unión Sindical Obrera.
The workers' demands focus on the Irish low-cost company applying "basic labor rights, such as 22 working days of annual vacation, 14 legally established holidays; compliance with the LPRL law; the granting of legal guardianship rights, specification and reduction of working hours; the payment of salary levels prior to the pandemic, as the National Court already ruled in its ruling; end of the hiring of workers through illegal transfer of workers, also condemned by the AN and respect for the legitimate exercise of the right to strike by workers", explains USO in a statement.
It also requests the "immediate reinstatement of the 11 workers dismissed during the previous calls in the months of June and July for supporting the constitutional right to strike", as well as "the paralysis and filing of all disciplinary proceedings opened against approximately 100 workers due to previous stoppages."
For now, the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda has set minimum services of between 85% and 68% on domestic flights to or from the islands; between 60% and 36% for domestic flights whose travel time by public transport is equal to or greater than 5 hours and for all international flights, and 38% and 34% for domestic flights whose travel time by public transport is less than 5 hours.
