The first engagement since the establishment of the recognition agreement in August, took place in mid-October between Fórsa Ryanair cabin crew representatives and the airline.

Fórsa official Ashley Connolly said the union tabled an agenda of items drawn up in consultation with cabin crew members. These are to be developed into detailed proposals.

Ashley said, “We put forward a menu of items, some of which are completely cost neutral and others that will have minimal costs involved.”

The items tabled by the union included base transfer and seniority, review of policies (including sick leave and disciplinary), shift pattern bidding and shift exchanges.

Ashley confirmed the next meeting with management is to take place on Monday 26th November.
