Because Ryanair is not respecting the Spanish workers' rights, Ryanair Spanish cabin crew are striking for their rights: 22 days of leave and 14 statutory holidays, implementing the Spanish health and safety law and raising wages to pre-coronavirus levels.

Strikes will continue until Ryanair starts to respect and acknowledge those rights.
