Do you really think they will sack staff for taking part in a legal industrial action, from a legal ballot by a union they have recognized? Even for them that would be mental.

Ireland, Italy, Portugal,Germany Spain have all had strikes under Ryanair and no one has been sacked. There are laws protecting striking workers within the UK!

I would have have really hoped that all airline staff would have backed staff of ryr, for when the terms go down in ryr, they follow throughout the industry. What happens here, will effect everyone!
