Scioperi Ryanair

[AZ209]

Apro un nuovo thread con il permesso dei mods visto che sono stati annunciati ieri altri due scioperi dei piloti in Germania ed in Olanda.



Ryanair's German-based pilots back industrial action

More than 80% of Ryanair's German-based pilots are direct employees, meaning a strike there could create more disruption than recent industrial action in Ireland

Ryanair pilots based in Germany have overwhelmingly backed strike action in a dispute over pay and conditions.
The German-based pilots have voted by 96% in favour of strike action over their pay and conditions.
The union representing Ryanair pilots in Germany, VC, has warned that if the airline does not take its ballot result seriously, industrial action as seen in other countries will be inevitable in Germany too.
VC has given the airline until Monday 6 August to submit a workable proposal for negotiation, noting that talks last Friday broke down without agreement.
VC has pledged to give at least 24 hours notice of a strike to allow the travelling public time to make other arrangements.
VC's Chairman of Industrial Relations Ingolf Schumacher accused Ryanair of playing for time, and of behaving like a "wrong-way driver" towards pilot and cabin crew unions throughout Europe.
The union will hold a press conference in Frankfurt on Wednesday 8 August.
In a statement this evening, Ryanair has said it has invited the union to a meeting next week.
"We have written to the VC today and invited them to another meeting next week.
"We hope we can make further progress in concluding a collective labour agreement with our pilots in Germany," they said.
Over 80% of Ryanair's German-based pilots are direct employees.
It means that a German stoppage could create more disruption than the recent industrial action in Ireland, where only a quarter of Ryanair pilots are directly employed and able to strike.
Around 100 Irish-based pilots are set to have their fourth 24-hour stoppage this Friday - though Ryanair stresses it has only hit a tiny minority of its overall operation.
Last week's two-day cabin crew strike in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Belgium triggered 600 cancellations, disrupting a further 100,000 customers.
Last week, Ryanair confirmed part of its 20% profit fall was due to the pilots' campaign of industrial action.
It has issued protective notice to 100 Irish-based pilots and 200 cabin crew - but rejected union claims that this was aimed at intimidating staff.
Ryanair has invited the Irish pilots' union Fórsa to talks in a bid to resolve the dispute over conditions of employment.
In a tweet, Ryanair said that the 20 flights already cancelled for this Friday's strike could not be restored and that "the damage to Ryanair's Irish business has already been done".
The airline urged the union to explain to the public why more Irish customers were being disrupted when management had already agreed nine of the 11 demands set out by pilots.
It stated: "Given how much Ryanair had already agreed to, it is irresponsible of Fórsa to call repeated strikes of Irish pilots and to refuse to meet Ryanair (as they did last Tuesday) which has damaged Ryanair's Irish business and led to 300 pilots and cabin crew receiving protective notice."
Chief operations officer Peter Bellew said management were prepared to meet Fórsa this Saturday, or on any day the following week "...as long as no more strikes are called while we meet, and no Aer Lingus pilots are involved in these negotiations".
Fórsa has previously stated that it rejected a previous invitation as it was a "briefing" on job cuts rather than negotiations.
Shares in Ryanair closed 2.2% lower in Dublin trade this evening.

Ryanair's Dutch Pilots Back Strikes as Labor Conflict Worsens

• Nearly all union members support walkouts as did German pilot
• Move comes after strikes last week in Ireland, Spain, Portugal

Ryanair Holdings Plc pilots in the Netherlands followed their German colleagues in voting in favor of strikes, raising pressure on the discount giant already smarting from walkouts last week in five other countries in a dispute over pay and conditions.

Nearly all flight deck crew backed “possible” industrial action, the Dutch Airline Pilots Association said in an email Tuesday. No strike dates have been decided by the union, which represents 40 Ryanair pilots at Eindhoven airport. The outcome came a day after German pilots also threw their support behind labor action.

While talks for a Ryanair collective labor agreement in the Netherlands are still ongoing “we are losing hope for a positive outcome,” the union said in the statement. “Ryanair needs a ‘wake up call’ and a strike in the Netherlands might be the only solution.”

The move follows a ballot in Germany which gave a similar result and provides further evidence that more employees are growing disgruntled. The carrier was forced to cancel around 600 flights last week due to strikes by Irish pilots as well as cabin crew in Portugal, Spain, Belgium and Italy. Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Leary, who made an about-turn in December by agreeing to recognize unions, had warned investors to expect industrial action during the critical summer travel season.

According to Dutch union rules, pilots are required to give 12 hours notice ahead of any strike, shorter than the 24 hours required in Germany. The union is demanding that Ryanair abide by local labor laws, end involuntary transfers of staff to other countries, provide sick pay, and improve the company’s pension plan, a spokesman said by phone. The union is known by the Dutch acronym VNV.

Anche in Svezia hanno appena annunciato scioperi

Ryanair's Swedish pilots the latest to opt for strike action

Ryanair flightcrew represented by the Swedish Pilot Association are to strike later this month in a dispute over working conditions.
A walkout has been scheduled for 10 August, after months of negotiations on a collective labour agreement were conducted "without success", says the union.
It says the talks were broken off on 10 April by Ryanair, which has since "consistently" refused to meet with or recognise the union.
The Irish carrier's schedule has already been disrupted this summer by strikes. Last month, members of the Irish Airline Pilots' Association (IALPA) conducted three one-day walkouts, and hundreds of flights were cancelled as a result of industrial action by cabin crew in Belgium, Portugal and Spain.
Now, further disruption is faced by Ryanair after members of German pilot union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) and Dutch counterpart VNV voted to strike. IALPA, meanwhile, is planning another walkout in the coming days.
Ryanair, having earlier confirmed that it had sought another meeting with VC, says it has invited the Swedish and Dutch pilot unions to talks on union recognition and collective labour agreements, and is urging them to give seven days' notice of any strike action in order to minimise disruption.FG

Annunciato un quinto sciopero dai piloti Irlandesi

Irish pilots to extend action against Ryanair with fifth walkout

Ryanair pilots represented by Irish union IALPA are to stage their fifth one-day strike inside a month on 10 August.
Members walked out on 12, 20 and 24 July, and will do so again on 3 August before striking for a fifth time a week later.
Trade union Fosa, of which IALPA forms part, says it is seeking a "fair and transparent approach to base transfers", and complains that Ryanairmanagement has agreed to just two hours of talks since the first one-day strike.
On 25 July, the airline warned that it was planning to reassign Dublin-based aircraft to a Polish subsidiary, potentially making 300 crew members, include 100 pilots, redundant. Forsa says this has "led to a predictable hardening of resolve among its staff".
The union has reiterated its willingness to explore third-party facilitation as a means of resolving the dispute.
"There cannot be a resolution to this dispute if management persists with its precondition to talks," Forsa warns.
Ryanair, for its part, accuses Forsa of rejecting "repeated offers to meet", and insists that nine of 11 demands made by the union have already been met.
"This fifth unnecessary strike (by 25%) of Ryanair's Irish pilots proves that Forsa have no interest in meeting Ryanair," the airline asserts.
It believes Aer Lingus pilots are involved in organising the Irish strikes – plus others planned across Europe – and, on this basis, is now of the opinion that "there is no point meeting Forsa".
Belgian flightcrew are meanwhile being urged by local unions "to support their Irish colleagues" by striking on 10 August.
"Ryanair's model must change," says the Belgian Cockpit Association, which has partnered with unions CNE and LBC-NVK in backing the strike. "Since last fall and the cancellation of a great number of flights because of a pilot shortage until this summer's strikes, the model Mr O'Leary has been so proud of has clearly demonstrated its limits."
The Swedish Pilot Association has already scheduled a walkout for 10 August. Flightcrew in Germany and the Netherlands have also voted in favour of industrial action against Ryanair. FG

pare che oggi fosse la scadenza fissata dal sindacato VC per ricevere le proposte migliorative di Ryanair. MOL non ha inviato alcuna proposta e ha chiesto di posticipare la scadenza a venerdì.
VC ha deciso che prenderà una decisione mercoledì, per ora lo sciopero non è confermato.

i genitori devono prendere il primo volo della loro vita proprio venerdì, prevedo un loro viaggio in auto dato che sabato abbiamo il volo per l'Islanda con Icelandair.

Ma nella mail c'è scritto che puoi cambiare gratuitamente perché il volo è cancellato?

email di RYR, il volo non è cancellato, ma per minimizzare i rischi ti offrono il cambio data gratuito:

Due to a threatened strike by our Dutch and German Pilots we would like to minimise any disruptions that may occur by offering you the ability to move your flight to an alternative date.

We have written to both Unions and have asked them to give us at least 7 days’ notice of their plans to strike which they have not given, therefore it is possible they will go on strike on Friday August 10th.

If you wish to move your flight to an alternative date (subject to availability) please click on the below link and enter your reservation details or log into your myRyanair account. This is only available free of charge on your flight scheduled to depart on the 10th August.

il volo per ora non è cancellato, ma potrei cambiarlo gratuitamente per un altra data
Per ora tengo quello che ho, vedremo come si evolve lo sciopero.

 

[AZ209]

Lo sciopero in Germania il 10 agosto e' stato confermato dal sindacato VC.
Durera' 24 ore e si aggiungera' a quelli gia annunciati in Belgio, Irlanda e Svezia.

 

[Daddo]

Al momento sono 250 i voli cancellati da/per Germania con Ryanair, come da tweet della stessa compagnia: https://twitter.com/Ryanair/status/1027157033659912192

Ryanair could end up like a well-run EasyJet: HSBC

Ryanair could look very similar to "a well-run EasyJet" once disputes with unions have been overcome and more "normalised" labour structures put in place, an analyst note from HSBC suggests.
The bank acknowledges the "major industrial relations challenges" currently faced by Ryanair, but predicts that a "profitable equilibrium" will ultimately be found. The airline will evolve its business model such that it is "closer to peers" than to the "old Ryanair", HSBC expects.
But with Ryanair currently "not in equilibrium" at present, it is "not clear today what that future structure will look like", adds HSBC.
"It could look very similar to old Ryanair, with unions replacing the old employee representative councils, and Ryanair maintaining strong control over labour. Alternatively, the employment structure could evolve to something very similar to peers."
The bank believes that unions will have their "key demands" met, including those relating to local and permanent contracts. This would likely lead to Ryanair losing its ability to move staff around its network.
"We see the September 2017 Mons legal judgement and the continuing tightness in the pilot market combining to place the balance of power in the hands of labour," says HSBC.
It sees "newfound confidence" among unions, bolstered by "unprecedented co-operation" between them to "challenge" Ryanair.
HSBC expects the airline's challenges to create "additional layers of costs" above and beyond the pay rises set out in full-year guidance.
As a result, HSBC foresees that Ryanair will lower its profit guidance for the year as it lowers capacity, driven by both strike disruption and crew shortages.
The bank also expects weaker unit-revenue trends, and is cutting its estimate of net profit for the current financial year by 4% and those of the next two by 3%. FG

Ottima analisi. Se Ryanair diventasse una "well-run EasyJet" in breve tempo EasyJet rischierebbe di trovarsi una posizione di ComplicatedJet. Quando a Dublino capiranno questo concetto ci sarà si una perdita di net profit sul breve-medio ma potenzialmente risultati ancora migliori del passato sul lungo periodo.

E allora mi sa tanto che prima di diventare una "well run-up easyjet " bisogna aspettare qualche decennio.

Ryanair REFUSES to compensate passengers' axed flights as staff stage biggest strike EVER

Probabilmente qualche secolo.

«Meglio gli scioperi» che «fare concessioni» che porterebbero a «costi più alti» o a una «produttività più bassa». E che rovinerebbero «uno dei modelli migliori di gestione di una compagnia aerea». Con spese basse. Tariffe convenienti. Profitti alle stelle. La posizione di Ryanair dopo gli scioperi dei suoi dipendenti il 25-26 luglio e il 10 agosto in mezza Europa era già racchiusa in quella frase a pagina 10 della presentazione dei dati finanziari del trimestre aprile-giugno 2018. E spiega perché il braccio di ferro tra l’amministratore delegato Michael O’Leary e parte del personale non si risolverà facilmente.




Il confronto interno all’azienda

«Continuiamo a parlare con i sindacati dei piloti e degli assistenti di volo», chiariscono da Ryanair. «Ma ci aspettiamo altri scioperi quest’estate perché non abbiamo intenzione di cedere alle richieste irragionevoli che metterebbero in pericolo le basse tariffe e il nostro modello di gestione altamente efficiente». La diatriba — esplosa a settembre con migliaia di voli cancellati ufficialmente per un errore nella gestione dei riposi, ufficiosamente per la mancanza di piloti — vede il personale chiedere migliori condizioni di lavoro. Soprattutto: non più contratti irlandesi, ma stipulati secondo le norme dei Paesi in cui i dipendenti sono situati.










Il bastone e la carota

Richieste che O’Leary ha affrontato prima con la carota, offrendo più soldi. Poi con il bastone, minacciando di muovere altrove aerei e persone già nella prossima stagione invernale (che in aviazione inizia a fine ottobre). Non è un caso se il primo segnale minaccioso l’ha voluto lanciare dal suo cuore operativo, la base di Dublino, annunciando che gli scioperi hanno fatto calare le prenotazioni invernali e che si sta pensando di ridurre del 20% la flotta mettendo a rischio 300 posti di lavoro da riallocare in Polonia. Secondo gli analisti di Hsbc la prospettiva di Ryanair è quella di diventare una «easyJet ben gestita una volta risolte le dispute con i sindacati», riferendosi alla seconda low cost d’Europa che ha buoni rapporti con le sigle dei Paesi in cui opera e che stipula contratti locali. «Ma il modello di Ryanair non può cedere a quelle richieste altrimenti non funzionerebbe più», replica al Corriere un dirigente della low cost.

I numeri del «modello Ryanair»




I bilanci da record

Sono i numeri a confermare la validità economica. E, parlandone in privato, pure diversi amministratori delegati di grandi colossi dei cieli europei e nordamericani. Ogni passeggero sborsa in media 38,7 euro per volare con Ryanair, la tariffa più conveniente d’Europa e tra le più basse del mondo secondo un’analisi del Corriere. Wizz Air, la low cost ungherese, segue con 46 euro, poi c’è easyJet (60). Bassi sono anche i costi di trasporto per la compagnia, al netto del carburante (che pesa per circa un terzo delle spese). Per ogni cliente che vola sui suoi Boeing 737 Ryanair paga 27 euro, Wizz Air 40, easyJet 51. Di questi il costo del personale (piloti, assistenti di volo, personale di terra, amministrativo e tecnico) ammonta a 6 euro per passeggero di Ryanair, un euro più di Wizz Air che ha meno uscite retributive perché localizzata nell’Est Europa.




La spesa dei viaggiatori

Il risultato finale è nei bilanci ufficiali: per Ryanair 7,15 miliardi di euro di ricavi nell’anno finanziario 2017-2018 (terminato al 31 marzo scorso), un utile netto di 1,45 miliardi di euro, +10% sui dodici mesi precedenti e nonostante i 20 mila voli cancellati. Ancora più sorprendente vedere all’interno dei ricavi. Quelli «ancillari» (come la scelta del posto, l’imbarco prioritario, il cibo a bordo, il bagaglio in stiva) sono saliti del 13%, a quota 2,02 miliardi di euro. Oltre 65,1 milioni di passeggeri (la metà nel periodo aprile 2017-marzo 2018) hanno pagato per la scelta del posto, oltre 39 milioni (30%) per l’imbarco prioritario e la tariffa «Plus». Un record.

Ryanair targeted with legal action over flight disruption[/h]
Compensation-claim processing site Flightright has initiated legal action in Germany on behalf of passengers seeking compensation for Ryanair flight delays and cancellations resulting from strikes.
Flightright says it filed the lawsuit at a regional court in Frankfurt on 14 August.
The company disputes Ryanair's position that industrial action is an "exceptional circumstance" warranting rejection of compensation claims, arguing that the airline has "caused such a strike through years of wage-dumping and salami tactics in talks with the trade unions."
It describes the strike as "home-made" and "the logical consequence of Ryanair's questionable personnel policy".
Ryanair says it "fully complies" with EU compensation rules set down under the EU261 regulation.
"Under EU261 legislation, no compensation is payable when the union is acting unreasonably and totally beyond the airline's control," says Ryanair. "If this was within our control, there would be no cancellations."
The airline's schedule has recently been disrupted by industrial action by pilots in Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands, as well as Germany, in disputes over union recognition and working conditions.

Ryanair compensation cheques with no signatures 'bounced'

Ryanair passengers who have received compensation for cancelled and delayed flights have been charged extra fees after banks rejected the cheques.

Several people said their bank had returned cheques they had received from the airline because they were unsigned.

One passenger, who waited 11 months for compensation, said she was now worse off after the bank added a fee of 20 euros (£17.94).

Ryanair has apologised and blamed the problem on an "administrative error".

Since April, more than one million Ryanair passengers in Europe have had delayed or cancelled flights, according to the airline's own figures.

The latest one-day pilots' walk-out on 10 August led to the cancellation of nearly 400 flights.

Ryanair, which is Europe's largest low-cost carrier, has blamed other delays on bad weather or air traffic control shortages.
