Do not fly with Ryanair
WORKING CONDITIONS: Employees of Ryanair must pay for work uniforms and certificates, and only get paid for time they are in the air.
CHRONICLE:
Vegard Einan
Deputy Leader of the Parat
CHRONICLE AUTHOR: Vegard Einan.
Parat Board approved on 2 September that the organization's employees and elected not to travel with Ryanair when they are on a mission Parat. Other unions have followed suit. Some call it a boycott, I call it a consumer action. As a consumer of travel, Parat choose to use other airlines than Ryanair. And we are in our right to. Just for the sake of our mission and our members' interests.
Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary call this a waste, yes even the abuse of members' money. O'Leary, we believe in the light of the financial crisis must use the cheapest suppliers, and travel with low cost airlines. This is precisely where the Ryanair boss misunderstands, and shows his lack of insight into a union job and responsibilities.
Had the price been the most important when we buy goods and services, could I have been inclined to agree with O'Leary. Unfortunately for him, we put more demands on our suppliers than price alone. In the same spirit that we do not want to buy goods produced in various ways unacceptable in distant climes, we will also ethical requirements of the airlines we choose from when we fly.
