Ryanair may face strikes and legal cases

Ryanair is facing the prospect of industrial action by pilots in Britain as well as the possibility of legal action.

The British Airline Pilots’ Association (BALPA), which represents over 10,000 pilots in the UK, has launched a survey among Ryanair pilots in response to what it says is growing dissatisfaction with the company.

“Among other questions there is one asking whether pilots would be prepared to support industrial action to achieve their objectives and one asking if those on agency contracts would support a group legal action to establish employee or worker rights,” said BALPA.
