Unions representing Belgian-based Ryanair crew have announced a strike during two weekends of the Christmas holidays. This will affect passengers travelling from Brussels South Charleroi Airport.
The first strike has been scheduled for the weekend of 30, 31 December and 1 January (2023), and the second strike weekend has been foreseen on 7 and 8 January 2023, unions said. The unions claim that 65% of the crew is paid below the minimum legal wage.
They also blame the fact that Ryanair isn’t doing enough for their future: “As Ryanair closed the base at Brussels Airport, the job uncertainty remains.”
CNE union member Didier Lebbe criticises Ryanair’s policy of “temporarily and illegally deploying crew members to other European bases, like Dublin or London.”
According to him, this practice has “even increased” and the airline is trying to encourage its staff to resign.
Ryanair flights at Brussels Airport will not be affected, as they are operated with aircraft based in other countries. Similarly, some flights to/from Charleroi operated by planes based in foreign countries will also run normally.
