    Who wants the airports shut down every Christmas?
    If the Union movement succeeds in forcing Ryanair to negotiate only with the Irish Airline Pilots' Association then IALPA will have the power to strike every Christmas, Easter and Bank Holiday. Aer Lingus and Ryanair planes will be grounded and they are carrying most of the traffic in and out of the Country.

    It will be the Irish equivalent of the Air Traffic Controller Union in France.

    The way Ryanair treats their pilots is risable. They're perfectly entitled and justified in their actions.

    That's like cheering on Stalin because the other bloke was a b*stard. Pick your tyrant of choice.

    Isn't there already a thread on this?? Don't worry comrades, when the Ryanair pilots usher in the revolution we'll all be on top coin and the OP will be sent to a labour camp in Roscommon.

    Talk about catastrophising!!!

    Treat employees properly and they won’t need to strike.

    Unions are fantastic. Shoplifiting should be decriminalised. Housing is a right. Private education and heathcare should be banned. People who wait till they can afford it to have children are somewhere between sucker and subhuman.

    Ryanair is the Deliveroo of airlines.

    Treat people like sh!t, don't be surprised if they're not loyal.

    Most of the basic workers rights we have today came from unions.

    It annoys me as much as anyone when I see a union kicking up crap because one of their members was asked to take his lunch break an hour late. Or when public transport grinds to a halt because of another strike. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have unions. It just means that we need to curtail some of their powers a bit.

    My point exactly but I made it arseways.

    Union LEADERS are the issue - that b****x from SIPTU wants chucking in the Liffey!
