Ryanair BALPA Recognition
I'm not quite sure why pro-BALPA members are avoiding answering my question on the forums, so I want to make myself clear on a new thread which is for discussion on the union recognition debate.
I am an FO at a UK base and want to know how BALPA are going to improve things at Ryanair, or even stop things getting worse.
Please don't see this as a new opportunity to abuse each other - this thread is for people like me to get the knowledge they require in order to have a reason to vote yes.
My colleagues have told me that Ryanair management only have to attend meetings with BALPA representatives, but MOL has said that he wont do a thing they ask. So what is the point? Don't just answer with "It's for the future....." - How is it for the future of this industry when MOL doesn't have to pay attention to BALPA?
As far as I can see, the only things that will change are those promised by MOL - I wont list them because those who need to know already do know the threats.
Please answer as I would love for there to be a reason to vote for union recognition, but I just can't see how it's in anyones best interest.
