Rant on:
Let them take it to the European Human Rights court. I really wonder what those judges think about employing many contractors as if they were employees. Somehow I think the court will side more with the HUMAN side of the story (the contractors) than with the human rights of the Ryanair business model. It will be interesting and it will definitely provide some answers for a lot of international workers, not only in Ryanair.
Rant off.
