Ryanair’s Irish pilots call for fifth strike day
Ryanair pilots in Ireland have called a fifth 1-day strike for Aug 10, leading the airline to cancel a further 20 flights and adding to a wave of European industrial action as a conflict with its workforce continues. Trade union Forsa, of which IALPA is a branch, said directly employed Ryanair pilots in Ireland would stage their fifth 1-day strike since July 12 beginning at 0100 Aug 10 in an ongoing dispute about working conditions including base transfers. Swedish pilots have also voted to strike Aug 10 while Belgian pilots’ union the Belgian Cockpit Association has called on its members to walk out on the same day. In Ireland, IALPA/Forsa and Ryanair are locked in a war of words over the two parties’ approach to ironing out their issues. <br/>
