Ryanair signs union recognition deal with Forsa in Ireland

Ryanair has signed a trade union recognition deal with Forsa, which represents cabin crew in working in Ireland.

The deal is the fourth the budget carrier has agreed since it started to recognise unions in December 2017.

Ryanair said it looks forward to working with Forsa and the elected employee representatives t conclude  an early CLA for Ryanair’s directly employed cabin crew based in Ireland.

The Forsa agreement follows Ryanair’s cabin crew recognition deals with the Italian ANPAC, ANPAV and Fit-Cisl unions, UK union UNITE and the Ver.di union in Germany.

Ryanair chief people officer, Eddie Wilson said: “We are pleased to sign this cabin crew recognition agreement with Forsa in Ireland.

“We look forward to working closely with both Forsa and their Company Council to address issues of concern to our directly employed Irish based cabin crew.

“This is a further sign of the progress Ryanair is making with trade unions since our December 2017 decision to recognise unions, with over 65% of our cabin crew now covered by recognition agreements and we hope to sign more agreements in the coming weeks.”
