Ryanair signs third cabin crew union agreement
Ryanair has signed a recognition agreement with the German cabin crew union, Ver.di.
The union will now be the representative body for all directly employed cabin crew operating Ryanair aircraft in Germany.
This is the third such agreement signed by Ryanair since it announced in December 2017 that it would work with trade unions.
The first two were with Unite in the UK and ANPAC/ANPAV in Italy.
Ryanair’s chief people officer Eddie Wilson said:"This is a further sign of the progress Ryanair is making with trade unions since our December 2017 decision to recognise unions, with over 60% of our cabin crew now covered by recognition agreements.
"We hope to announce further agreements over the coming weeks, in those countries where unions have approached these negotiations in a practical and positive manner.
"As this growing number of pilot and cabin crew recognition agreements confirms, we are making progress and confounding those sceptics who claimed that our December 2017 decision was not real or genuine.
"We look forward to working closely with both Ver.di, and their Company Council in negotiating a collective labour agreement for our directly employed German based cabin crew."
