Abusing_the_sky,

So let's be clear about this - if Ryanair is threatening to sack people if they are forced into recognising unions such as BALPA, it'll all be BALPA's fault?

Are you employed by BALPA? No, you're employed by Ryanair, so BALPA cannot sack you. If you're sacked, it's down to Ryanair, nobody else.

And given that most airlines seem to rub along with union representation, which do you think is the most likely explanation:

1. Recognition of BALPA or any other union would so adversely affect Ryanair's business that they would have no alternative but to dismiss lots of staff, and Ryanair's utterances are simply a statement of fact; or

2. The threat is simply the latest in a long line of egregious bullying and harassment by Ryanair management to intimidate their staff into submission.

If you require more information you could always various Irish courts as to their opinions of Ryanair management.
