Ryanair vows to appeal decision on workers' rights

Budget airline Ryanair has said it has not been informed of any decision from a Charleroi tribunal in relation to rights for cross-border workers, but that it would appeal if the judgement went against the airline.

A court in Charleroi ruled in favour of three Belgian employees who claimed their 2002 dismissal by Ryanair was an infringement of Belgian labour laws. The company claimed the three were hired on Irish contracts and their sacking was legal under Irish law.
