Network-wide agreement distant, Ryanair warned

Ryanair has been warned that, while it has agreed a Collective Labour Agreement with its pilots in Italy to add to a tentative agreement here in Ireland, it still has a long way to go to achieve a network-wide agreement.

Ryanair’s chief people officer Eddie Wilson confirmed that its Italian pilots had signed off on the new collective labour agreement (CLA). He said he hoped it would shortly be followed by a similar agreement covering its directly employed Irish cohort. They are being balloted with a recommendation to accept from their union, Fórsa.
