but they are one of the indutry's biggest employers in the world. The workers still have rights, if they were so unhappy then why have I never known Ryanair to have a single strike.
FRatSTN, Depends how one defines "employers" and "rights". Many of those who work for Ryanair do so on a self employed basis which means, I believe, they do not have the same "rights" as contracted employees.
Concerning strikes, such action is more organised and also less vulnerable to the individual where there is union representation.
