Ryanair does not recognise trade unions and instead negotiates with pilots via an internal collective bargaining system it says is recognised by Irish law.
This is a quote taken from #15 link to German press release. How does this jive with the declaration by a European court that RYR personnel can take legal action in the courts where they are based? Just because it is claimed the Irish law acknowledges the ERC system, why should that impose it on personnel employed outside Ireland if they have recourse to their local courts? A lawyer may have the answer.
