The Ryanair cabin crews are on a European strike today and Thursday to demand the application of domestic law rather than Irish labour laws.

The Portuguese union complained today that yesterday (Tuesday) there was a serious illegal situation: Coercion of workers. The union said that Workers received a letter threatening them that if they did not fly on their days off that fell on strike days, they would be fired. “This is a crime in Portugal and I don’t know what the Portuguese government intends to do about all this proof that has been presented about how Ryanair treats its Portuguese workers”, the union added.
