Ryanair strike: Hundreds of flights at risk of disruption as cabin crew walk out
Ryanair cabin crew in Portugal are planning 5 days of strikes in August, potentially wrecking thousands of passengers’ summer holiday plans. Portuguese cabin crew union SNPVAC announced the potential industrial action Wednesday, although exact dates have yet to be confirmed. The union accuses the airline of a “total lack of respect for national legislation” and says the decision to strike is due to the company’s refusal to comply with the protocol signed between Ryanair and SNPVAC last November. Among the demands that were agreed by the airline and union in 2018 are a mandatory 22 days of annual leave for all cabin crew, plus the switching of those employed by Ryanair for more than 2 years through employment agencies onto permanent contracts, with no loss of salary or seniority. <br/>
