Ryanair cabin crew in Italy, Portugal, Spain and Belgium are threatening to strike later this month, joining pilots in Ireland who are already taking action.
Cabin crew in Italy plan to strike for 24 hours on July 25, while crew in Spain, Portugal and Belgium will strike for 48 hours on July 25-26.
Unions are warning of further action if Ryanair does not make changes to some employment terms.
These include a request to be paid into bank accounts in their own countries, rather than in the Republic of Ireland.
Ryanair pilots in Ireland are due to go on strike next Thursday, the first time they have ever done so.
The airline sent another letter to the Dublin-based union, Forsa, yesterday inviting it for immediate talks. It said this was the 20th invite to the union.
It accused the union of having ‘unreliable’ insight into pilots’ wishes, by rejecting a 20% pay rise that 85% of pilots have already accepted.
It assured Forsa that any meeting would take place ‘airside’ which means there will be no TV cameras or media present.
