Ryanair cabin crews across Europe have planned movements that are expected to take place later this week.
The action can cause significant disruption for many passengers during the rest of the month and early July.
Unions representing Ryanair staff in European countries have said that staff are not easy to respect the law and better wages and operating conditions.

However, Ryanair said it expects there to be few flight disruptions despite similar measures in France last week, with more than 40 flights cancelled, according to a union representative.
A Ryanair spokesperson said: “Ryanair has approved collective agreements covering 90% of our workers across Europe. Over the past few months, we have approved innovations in those agreements as we go through the Covid recovery phase. “
“These negotiations are going well and we don’t expect widespread disruption this summer. “
Here is everything we know about the movements that will take place.
The unions representing the Ryanair cabin crew (RYA. I) plan a strike at the end of June in Belgium.
The ACV and BBTK unions said they were forced to act because Ryanair complied with Belgian labor law that covers issues such as minimum wage or cabin crew pay for certain jobs before and after the flight.
Unions representing Ryanair staff in European countries said on Friday they were planning a strike in Belgium from June 24 to 26.
Ryanair’s Portuguese cabin crew said it would continue a three-day strike on June 24, 25 and 26.
Workers do not have easy compliance with Portuguese law and better operating conditions, portugal’s Civil Aviation Personnel Union SNPVAC said on Tuesday.
“This mobilization is not only an opportunity to denounce attacks on the dignity of staff and make this truth known, but also a moment of unity and solidarity in the face of dumping,” the union added.
The strike in Portugal comes a day after Ryanair’s Spanish cabin crew announced a six-day strike.
The performance will take place on June 24, 25, 26 and 30 and July 1 and 2.
Workers cited discontent with operating conditions and wages as the explanation for the reason for the strike.
Ryanair’s Italian cabin crew has become the latest to announce moves after unions they represent in Italy called for a 24-hour strike on June 25.
They will coincide with strikes in Spain and Portugal.
Unions filt-CGIL and UIL Trasporti said they sought to improve wages and conditions after setting up a four-hour work stoppage in early June.
Ryanair’s Irish cabin crew did not vote in favour of the strike, but the strike will potentially attract thousands of Irish people with holiday plans this summer.
