Ryanair has signed deals with cabin crew unions in Italy to provide employment contracts under Italian law, the Irish no-frills airline said Tuesday ahead of a Europe-wide strike over working conditions.
The company said that the carrier said in a statement that it has agreed a collective labour agreement with the three main cabin crew unions comprising FIT CISL, ANPAC, and ANPAV.
The deal will take effect from 1 October 2018, it added. Tuesday’s news came after Ryanair had reached a preliminary deal earlier this month. However, some Italian crews, alongside their Belgian, Dutch, Spanish and Portugese counterparts announced a 24-hour stoppage for September 28 that unions claim will be the biggest strike in the Irish carrier’s history.
Italian pilots had earlier approved an agreement over working conditions with Ryanair in the first such deal the aviation giant had fully concluded.
