So a business should automatically just pay what a Union demands
of course not and that is certainly not what I said, but the papers should be talking to both sides and getting their facts right, Ryanair are know for treating their staff badly and if you do that it is only a matter of time before people stand their ground and refuse to accept being treated in that way. When it comes down to a pay negotiation then people are going to look at parity with others doing the same job and at least be looking at some catch up if they are behind their peers, I very much doubt that they are after more than doubling the industry norm!
