Ryanair call Union Members "selfish and under worked."

TTG live . com reports Ryanair has branded Unite members as “selfish and under worked” following their announcement to strike in the wake of a continued dispute with airport operator BAA.

The airline said a late August strike could disrupt travel for up to 50,000 of its passengers, with an estimated 300 flights per day being cancelled at three airports across the UK.
Ryanair also urged all customers affected by the strike to seek compensation directly from Unite’s General Secretary, Derek Simpson, after labelling the union’s tactics as blackmail targeted at ordinary passengers.
Ryanair’s Daniel de Carvalho said: “There is no justification for any strikes by these selfish and underworked Unite members at a time when traffic at BAA’s airports is falling and they are even less busy than they were last year.
“Unite members should be getting a pay freeze to reflect their reduced productivity at the BAA airports this year.”
British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and BMI all said they were monitoring the situation and hoped the BAA and Unite could reach an agreement that would prevent further disruption.
Ryanair said it would contact passengers whose flights were affected by the action and those not contacted should report to airports as normal.
