RYANAIR seems to be in the wars on all fronts with the European labour unions again highlighting the fact that the Irish carrier does not recognise any worker organisation. Last Monday activists from France, Spain and Italy of the European Transport Worker”s Federation (ETF) and from the Centrale Nationale des Employ”s (CNE) and from the Syndicat des Employ”s Techniciens et Cadres (SETCA), organised a symbolic action in front of the Charleroi”s Labour Court , to deplore what they called Ryanair”s anti-social and anti-union practices highlighting the dismissal of three local staff members who worked under Irish labour contracts. Amongst the demands of the unions is for the European Commission to draw up a law establishing that the work contract of air crew in Europe be governed by the law of the country where the worker routinely performs his/her work even if said worker be temporarily based in another country.
