In Italy, in an attempt to limit the inconvenience to the public while still letting O’Leary know how they feel, workers are refusing to sell the non-essential ‘extras’ such as hot drinks, food, and alcohol, that contribute so much to the company’s profits (€115.7 million after tax last year). They have however guaranteed that water will be sold in the fully-lawful protest. Workers are protesting after they joined a union to represent them, only to have Ryanair refuse to talk to a third party and try to transfer the staff their colleagues had nominated as their union representatives. Further action could take place next week.
