RYANAIR, ANPAC & ANPAV SIGN FIRST RECOGNITION AGREEMENT FOR ITALIAN BASED CABIN CREW
 
 
Ryanair today (6 June) confirmed that it has signed its first cabin crew union recognition agreement with ANPAC and ANPAV, who will be the representative body for Ryanair directly employed cabin crew in Italy. This agreement follows extensive negotiations with ANPAC and ANPAV since Ryanair's December 2017 announcement that it was willing to recognise Unions for collective bargaining purposes.
 
Ryanair welcomes the constructive engagement of ANPAC and ANPAV which led to the signing of this first cabin crew recognition agreement, in Italy, which currently accounts for over 80 of Ryanair's 400+ aircraft fleet and approx. 20% of Ryanair's cabin crew. Ryanair looks forward to working with ANPAC and ANPAV and its newly elected Ryanair (Cabin Crew) Company Council to conclude an early CLA for our directly employed cabin crew based in Italy.
 
 
 
Ryanair's Chief People Officer Eddie Wilson said:
 
"We are pleased to announce this recognition agreement with ANPAC and ANPAV on behalf of our directly employed cabin crew in Italy. This is our first cabin crew union recognition agreement (which follows recognition agreements with pilot unions in the UK and Italy earlier this year) and further demonstrates Ryanair's progress on recognising and negotiating with unions across Europe for our people. We are making good progress with other cabin crew unions across Europe and we hope to sign more recognition agreements with both pilot and cabin crew unions in the coming weeks."
