Ryanair employees announce strikes - probably a number of flights in June and July affected

There are said to be six 24-hour strikes at Ryanair España in late June and early July 2022.

Flights to and from Spain are affected.

Spain - USO and Sitcpla, the cabin crew unions of Ryanair España, announced that the airline's employees will go on strike several times in June and early July 2022.

The measures come at an inopportune time for many holidaymakers in Spain, but, as

costanachrichten.com

reports, they are sorely needed in the labor dispute.

Ryanair in Spain: strike during the holiday season - tourists have to expect complications

So far, Ryanair has only announced the dates of the strikes.

These are expected to take place on June 24th, 25th, 26th and 30th and July 1st and 2nd, 2022 and will each last 24 hours.

The strike committee did not say which flights would be affected, nor which of the ten bases – Alicante, Valencia, Madrid, Málaga, Barcelona, ​​Seville, Palma de Mallorca, Girona, Santiago de Compostela and Ibiza – would be struck.

Holidaymakers and other passengers face flight complications when planning to fly with Ryanair.

Although the law requires the airline to provide a replacement flight at no additional cost, if a lawfully registered strike is announced in good time, it does not have to pay compensation for the cancellation or delay of flights.

However, those who are stuck at the airport due to the strike have a right against Ryanair to be provided with food and drink, to be able to make telephone calls and, if necessary, to be accommodated.

Ryanair strike in Spain: Tourists can reschedule while staff want to fight

Flights can be rebooked both on the Ryanair Spain website and at the counters in the airports.

If it is known that the flight will not take place as planned as a result of the strike, rebookings made by passengers themselves are always free of charge by law.

As unnerving as a strike like that being planned at Ryanair España is for passengers, it is just as important for crew members.

The airline employs around 4,000 people, 1,200 of them cabin crew, in Spain – without a collective agreement.

As the unions claim, according to

costanachrichten.com

, vacation days, compensatory time off, shift divisions and the like are deliberately designed unfairly by Ryanair.

The working hours are “on the edge of human dignity and what is permissible”, and crew members do not even get a free supply of drinking water.

Therefore, while a strike may be associated with inconvenience for passengers, it appears to be the central instrument in the fight for collective labor law for employees in Spain.
