Ryanair pilots plan next wave of strikes

Pilot representatives at Ryanair will meet later today to decide on dates for another wave of strikes here.

The next stoppages by directly employed pilots could begin within the next fortnight, though the union must give at least one week’s notice of any action.

The meeting of Fórsa trade union’s disputes committee to decide on the next phase here comes as hundreds of the airline’s flights to and from Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Italy are grounded today and tomorrow due to strikes by cabin crew.
