Effectively you're saying that MOL may be forced into a mandatory union recognition situation by the incumbent government! Labour and Fine Gael are traditionally pro-union; pro workforce.
That would give the entire workforce (not just pilots) a voice for the first time in 20 years....a chance to see a pay rise for the first time in ten years, etc etc.
The fact that union recognition will - according to that political leaders promises - come true will turn MOL's blood cold, he will resist vigorously but good riddens if this becomes law!
Looking at what the unions can achieve in BA and Shamrock recently. Its about time an Irish Governemt made union recognition mandatory in the interst of the welfare of all Ryanair staff particularly the Irish workforce.
It will force those
hole beancounters & MOL to consider the welfare of the staff, their work efforts i.e. the highest productive workforce in the industry, force them to acknowledge that gaping abyss between the massive profits/bank reserves that FR have yet the fact that the cabin crew (for example) are on less than the minimum wage!
- Oil approaching 200$ per barrell
- pilots/engineers/cabincrew leaving at an exponential rate to a better deal
- 37 new a/c in 2011
- the new coalition government about to force mandatory union recogntion
- am aviation industry across europe sick of MOLs trick/""deals""
- a low morale across the workforce
none of this bodes well for a manager like MOL who sees his staff as pawns!!
I hope your post comes true WIDERED. Here's to e150,000 per yr for a new captain and not e54,000!
