BERLIN: German union Verdi will meet Ryanair in Dublin on Wednesday to start pay talks for around 1,000 cabin crew working in Germany for Europe’s largest low-cost airline, it said.
Verdi is seeking a substantial pay increase for cabin crew, it said in a statement on Monday, and wants Ryanair to recognize German law and pay social security contributions.
“Through seasonal shifts and a lack of guaranteed flight hours, some full-time employees receive gross pay of only around €1,000 a month. That’s completely unacceptable,” Verdi board member Christine Behle said.
Ryanair endured its worst one-day strike on Friday after a walk-out by pilots in five European countries disrupted the plans of an estimated 55,000 travelers with the budget airline at the height of the summer holiday season.
