LONDON (Alliance News) - Budget airline Ryanair Holdings PLC on Thursday said it has signed collective labour agreements with two Belgian trade unions.
The deals are with CNE-CSC and LBC-NVK, covering all of its directly-employed pilots and cabin crew in Belgium.
This follows, Ryanair said, similar deals in Spain, Portugal, and the UK.
Chief People Officer Eddie Wilson said: "We are pleased to have signed this latest CLA covering all of our directly employed pilots and cabin crew in Belgium.
"These signed union agreements in Belgium, Spain, Portugal and the UK again demonstrate the considerable progress we're making in concluding union agreements with our people in our major EU markets."
Wilson continued: "We expect these new agreements will encourage the cabin crew unions in both Spain and Portugal to remove competitor airline employees (who have been blocking progress) and to quickly conclude cabin crew agreements in those two countries, as that's what our Portuguese and Spanish cabin crew are now demanding."
