The Swedish Air Pilots’ Association has given notice to Ryanair that they will go on strike August 10. A Belgium union has advised their pilots to do the same, after years of tension between Ryanair management and its’ members. The discount airline has only recognized pilot unions since December of 2017, after a series of work stoppages highlighted tensions in their workforce. In late July, Ryanair’s Spanish and Portuguese pilots went on strike, leading to the cancellation of six-hundred flights. Pilots in Ireland are preparing to stage their fourth strike in the last month. Yesterday, the airline announced that it had agreed to 9 out of the 11 demands, and invited the union for talks on August 4.
