Ryanair pilots in Ireland start first strike

Pilots in Ryanair ‘s home country Ireland held a strike for the first time on Thursday as they demanded better conditions from Europe’s largest low-cost carrier, which is trying to stave off a wave of industrial action across Europe.

Around 100 of Ryanair ‘s 350 Irish pilots balloted to strike for 24 hours to demand a more transparent system of pay, promotions and transfers, aiming to limit what the FORSA/IALPA union says is excessive discretion management have over pilots’ careers. A union representative said more strikes were possible.
