Ryanair workers have kicked off a five-month strike beginning this month, but the budget airline has assured passengers there will be no impact. The first weekly strike began yesterday (August 10) when cabin crew walked out over the bitter dispute.
The strike action will take place weekly from Monday to Thursday until early January 2023. The affected airports are Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Madrid, Ibiza, Murcia, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.
Staffers are calling on the company to align their contracts to Spanish law, which would mean 30 days annual leave, 14 bank holidays, and two payments most workers in Spain receive every year.
