Ryanair breached its workers' right to strike, according to the Constitutional Court

Spain's Constitutional Court has ruled in favor of Ryanair workers, represented by the Unión Sindical Obrera, who had denounced the airline for violating their right to strike. The court annulled a previous Supreme Court sentence that had favored Ryanair, as well as a resolution by the Ministry of Transport. The Ministry's resolution, dated August 5, 2022, had set minimum services during a strike called by workers from August 2022 to Christmas 2023, but the court found that it did not provide sufficient justification for determining the number of workers required.

The court stated that the administration had delegated too much discretion to the company, allowing it to decide which workers would be required to work during the strike.
