Ryanair Spanish cabin crew plan 10-day strike in Sept to protest the closure of bases

The Spanish unions USO and Sitcpla have registered a 10-day strike notice in the 13 bases where Ryanair operates in Spain. According to the unions, the cabin crew of the airline will go on strike “to prevent the closure of the bases of Gran Canaria, Tenerife South, and Girona” as well as “the dismissals resulting from these closures.” The Spanish unions have denounced that there will be layoffs “without guaranteeing the possibility of relocation.” According to USO, Ryanair decided to move the planes from the less profitable bases to relocate them in other countries whose airports have growth plans. But the USO union section of Ryanair, disagrees: “It is not possible to justify that the Canary Islands are unprofitable while all planes are full, and tickets are sold well in advance.” <br/>
