Ryanair formally recognises Italian pilots union

Ryanair has signed a union recognition agreement with Italian pilots union ANPAC, continuing the formalisation of the airline’s decision to recognise unions across Europe. The carrier confirmed March 8 that it had signed a Union Recognition agreement with ANPAC—which will now be the sole representative body for Ryanair-employed pilots in Italy—following extensive negotiations since the December about-turn designed to head off the threat of strikes and disruption. “This recognition agreement with ANPAC is significant because Italy currently accounts for almost 80 of Ryanair’s 400-plus current aircraft fleet and approximately 20% of Ryanair’s pilot body,” the carrier said. “We are making good progress with unions in other major EU,” Ryanair’s chief people officer Eddie Wilson said. <br/>
