Ryanair facing investigation in UK over working conditions
Ryanair is to be investigated by 2 UK parliamentary committees following allegations over employee working conditions at the airline. MPs Frank Field and Rachel Reeves, chairs of the Work and Pensions and Business select committees, have written to the airline’s CE, Michael O’Leary, seeking answers to claims of staff being underpaid, having to pay for their own uniforms and incurring fees when they leave. Reeves accused the company of “trying to wiggle out” of paying the UK’s National Minimum Wage. Ryanair dismissed the allegations as false, saying its cabin crew earn “more than double the UK national minimum wage”. Labour politician Field said: “Sadly, it will not surprise me if the sorry picture painted here is true: a company that turned in GBP1.15b profit last year squeezing its workers.” <br/>
