From Reuters-
WARSAW/DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ryanair (RYA.I) is ramping up a new subsidiary with weaker labor rights to better compete in eastern Europe, infuriating staff and unions by bypassing concessions granted during a year of industrial strife.
But a key element of the plan, forcing staff to move to self-employment contracts, is being probed by Polish authorities and a law to allow contractors to join unions -- and potentially push for concessions granted in Western Europe -- is due to enter force there in January.

Today, Ryanair makes the headlines for all the wrong reasons (again!). The UK CAA is taking them to court over the airline's refusal to pay compensation to passengers affected by the strikes during the summer.

By and large, Joe Pubic doesnt care - as long as they're cheap!

Ryanir can point to court decisions already in Germany, Spain and Italy which have already decided that strikes are an Exceptional circumstance, it would be interesting to see CAA case when precedence on EU261 and strikes has already been set.

That was my understanding, I.e. no passenger schedules, but it would be a neat trick if Ryanair could or anybody could get a schedules service in there. It's location is great! The national airline would have a canary!!
