Rather than resuming talks with U.K. pilots, Ryanair has chosen to attempt to block an impending strike by seeking an injunction. The hearing will take place the day before the strike is set to begin. Ryanair is still selling tickets for the days that the strike is set to take place. The union’s general secretary has called this move further evidence of the “bullying tactics” the airline has utilized regularly. The airline has declined to comment on the issue.
