December 19, 2017

In a statement Ryanair said that as per their historic decision to recognise unions for the first time, which was announced last Friday, they will look to meet with other unions “in due course”.

“Ryanair is moving to recognise unions, starting this week with meetings with Irish, German and Portuguese pilot unions. It will lead on in the New Year to meetings with other EU pilot unions and cabin crew unions in due course as well,” the company announced today.

Steve Cotton, general secretary of the ITF, which represent pilots and cabin crew around the world, said: “We welcome this significant policy change and see it as an opportunity for real progress.”
