Ryanair strikes: Airline ‘hell bent on prolonging dispute’, says union
On the seventh day of industrial action by pilots employed by Ryanair in the UK, the airline has been accused of being “hell bent on prolonging the dispute”. Flight crew have already stopped work for 2 days in August and 4 days in September. Members of the Balpa are in dispute about a wide range of concerns, including pensions, loss of licence insurance and maternity benefits. They also want to “harmonise pay across the UK in a fair, transparent, and consistent structure”. Strikes have also been called for Sept 21, 23, 25, 27 and 29. No impact has been felt in terms of cancellations to and from British airports. The pilots’ union claims that members have been told that benefits will be removed should they take part in current strike action. <br/>
