RYANAIR RECOGNISES FIT CISL UNION FOR ITALIAN BASED CABIN
CREW
OVER 66% OF CABIN CREW NOW COVERED BY UNION RECOGNITION
AGREEMENTS
Ryanair today (20 July) signed a recognition agreement with the
Italian union FIT CISL, who will now join ANPAC and ANPAV as a
joint negotiating body for directly employed cabin crew in
Italy. The joint negotiating committee of FIT CISL, ANPAC and
ANPAV will take effect from 24 July 2018 to commence negotiations
on a CLA. The contract agencies (Crewlink and Workforce) employing
cabin crew operating on Ryanair aircraft in Italy have also signed
recognition agreements today with FIT CISL, ANPAC, and ANPAV, and
negotiations on a CLA for contractor crew will also commence from
24 July 2018.
Following yesterday's announcement yesterday of a cabin crew
recognition agreement with Ver.di in Germany, Ryanair is now
commencing negotiations on CLA's for over 66% of its people in its
major markets of Italy, the UK and Germany. Ryanair hopes
that the cabin crew unions in Spain, Portugal and Belgium will soon
follow this example by engaging in negotiations with Ryanair rather
than disrupting Ryanair customers by going on unnecessary
strikes.
Ryanair's Chief People Officer, Eddie Wilson said:
"We are pleased to sign this cabin crew recognition agreement today
with FIT CISL in Italy. This is a further sign of the progress
Ryanair is making with trade unions since our December 2017
decision to recognise unions, with over 66% 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 FIT CISL, and their Company Council in
negotiating a CLA for our directly employed Italian based cabin
crew, and to shortly commence negotiations on a CLA for contractor
crew with ANPAC, ANPAV and FIT CISL."
