RYANAIR PERSONNEL POLICY..CONNING £MILLIONS From SKILLS FUNDING AGENCY

Ryanair’s Personnel Policy

Radosław Rycharski

Ryanair Ltd. is an Irish low-cost airline, headquartered on the grounds of Dublin Airport in Swords, Ireland, with its primary operational bases at Dublin Airport and London Stansted Airport. The company was founded in 1985 by Tony Ryan and his children. The airline has been characterised by rapid expansion, a result of the deregulation of the aviation industry in Europe in 1997 and the success of its low-cost business model.  Ryanair currently carries about 80 million passengers a year in 25 countries of Europe and Turkey, Cyprus and Morocco.  Ryanair operates over 300 Boeing 737–800 aircraft.

            As a low-cost airlines Ryanair believes it has to seek savings everywhere in its operations to keep prices low.  This includes using third-party staffing companies as contractors to hire probationary workers.  During this process may occur some situations where rights of employees can be violated.  In the last five years there were several situations where the company was facing charges in this regard. One of them was a case where a pilot was fired because he was handing out trade union flyers. The other was a case of French employees who were officially employed in Ireland (ergo insurance and social benefits worked only there), even if they started and finished their shifts in France. The third and probably the best know history of Sarah Foley, whose father started the organization called “Ryanair Don't Care” after her abrupt dismissal.

            There are several parties in this situation. First of all, there is Ryanair that is trying to maximize its profit by continuous efforts to lower its costs. There are third-party staffing companies like Crewlink, St James Management, Dalmac or Cavok who hire the probationary workers and have indirect influence on work environment and policy at Ryaniar. These third-party companies take ~50% of what Ryanair pays them for workers (around 15€ from an hourly salary of 30€).

Second are Ryanair employees who are trying to get decent wages, respected rights, stability of work and variety of other benefits (e.g. health insurance) that are typically guaranteed in first world countries.

Next are the governments of different countries responsible for protecting their citizens’ rights as employees. But on the other hand, these governments want to attract low-cost airlines to the smaller regions to increase the mobility of people and boost the economy, often even paying the airlines like Ryanair and o0ther discount airlines to use their regional airports.

Finally, there are customers who are affected by both – price of service as well as quality of service. They want cheap flights with wide choice of nearby departure airports and destinations.

            Ryanair's cabin crews are ~80% (around 4000 out of 5000) probationary workers, hired by the third-part staffing companies.  These companies recruit via the Internet. They invite respondents judged to be qualified to a training program where they offer them training after which they have the possibility of  employment at Ryanair as probationary workers. As trainees, they have to pay 3000€ tuition for 5 weeks of training which is actually regular work on board. After training some of the candidates are employed, some are not.

When trainees become probationary workers, they have 12 months of probation, after which they can be dismiss without further notice. Also probationary workers have to rent uniforms. They have no food allowance or drinking water on board flights. According to Mr. Foley, “… up to 60% of 4000 probationary Ryanair cabin crew are terminated within their first 12 month period. This earns Ryanair – and so called third party providers – a tidy profit. (In their own correspondence Ryanair admit to a rate of 30%, a more believable figure in their eyes.)” So we come to the history of Sarah Foley.

 In late 2008, 18 years old Sarah Foley was terminated after a period of only 7 weeks of employment as probationary Ryanair cabin crew.  Ryanair attributed her dismissal to the recession. Attendance issues were only mentioned once when protests organized by her father started and appeared to be put in place by senior Ryanair management to cover the termination. The day before Sarah was terminated, a Ryanair supervisor had talked to Sarah about resigning (probationary cabin crew wishing to resign have to pay 200€ fee). This Ryanair supervisor apparently was aware of Sarah’s imminent termination.

After termination, Sarah was asked to return her rented Ryanair uniform for security purposes to the Ryanair head office. If she failed to give it back, the money would be taken from her last salary which was still kept by Ryanair/Crewlink (her third party training company). After she’d returned her Ryanair uniform, she asked about her flight home. She was not given any clear answer about her return flight, but was told (by the very same Ryanair supervisor who had talked to her about resigning): “You do not work for Ryanair anymore and you will need to pay for your flight home”. As Sarah had been given a free flight by Ryanair when she started her employment, she presumed the company would return her back to Liverpool.

Sarah decided she would not leave Ryanair’s head office until she spoke to a senior Ryanair employee to confirm this flight issue. After a few hours of waiting, she was told again she’d have no free flight home. She found herself fired, broke and with no way back home. A couple of days later her family collected her from abroad and after that her father started a campaign, “Ryanair Don't Care” which he still conducts with more and more support from ex-workers of Ryanair and other people.

In 2011, there were two cases of other abuse worker's rights. Pilot James Anderson was fired for allegedly "compromising safety", when in fact he was handing out trade union flyers to the other crew members. He sued the company and won £40,000 compensation apart from salary for his unemployment period. At the same time a French prosecutor accused Ryanair of illegal registration as an Irish French workers (Ireland has a more flexible labor law), and also of forbidding employees to join unions. The trial will be held in Aix-en-Provence, near the airport in Marseille, where Ryanair had a small base of four planes and employed about 200 passengers daily from 2006-2011. Ryanair terminated the base in January 2011, when prosecutors refused to withdraw the charges against the company, eliminating several connections from Marseille to cities in Europe and Morocco. Ryanair’s boss Michael O'Leary had argued that the company had the right to register employees in Ireland, where taxes are significantly lower, because they did not live permanently in France. This view is not shared by prosecutors, because the persons employed by Ryanair started and finished their work in France, who according to French law should be treated as the local employees.

            According to this long history of labor work violations Ryanair have faced declining numbers of people who want to work for them. Furthermore passengers in western European countries, especially in Germany, are trying to use services of Ryanair as rarely as possible, choosing different carries like Wizzair, Germanwings or EasyJet. Also Ryan’s recruitment process is being crippled – John Foley states: “Ryanair will only use the Stansted Radisson Hotel for UK recruitment in 2012 as a court order is in place against me for harassment of a John Mudge (who has St James Management registered in his name)”.

Provide an assessment of the ethics of Ryanair’s policy of using third-party contractors in its employment practices. 

Certainly Ryanair’s treatment of Sarah was inexcusable, if not plain stupid, and the union-busting efforts potentially illegal, but do you consider Ryanair’s treatment of probationary employees unethical?

Case analysis

Provide an assessment of Ryanair’s policy of using third-party contractors in its employment practices.

 Ryanair's policy of using third-party contractors is reasonable. In my view, the only thing they have to worry about is to make payment to the third party contractors on time. All of the human resources issues have to be resolved by the contractors. Third-party contractors just have to fulfill agreement and deliver employees for Ryanair, so the company, even with this great fluctuation of employees, always has a full crew. But on the other hand Ryanair really doesn't care what the contractors are doing on their own. In my view, this a bad strategy, especially when companies in other industries, like clothing and electronics, are being held responsible for the actions of their subcontractors.  But there is a legitimate question to ask if responsibility for safety and health in developing country subcontractor manufacturing is truly translatable to service sector in developed countries?  The question might better focus on the industry norms in the airline industry as a whole?  Are they different for the large air carriers than for the discount airlines? 

For me, Ryanair should take more interest in the actions of its contractors. Management of airlines should enforce on third-party some condition that will guarantee some 'basic' rights for probationary workers, like food and water on board, flight back home, etc. Ryanair is facing this bad publicity, but it still is expanding its market.  A significant segment of the air travel market just wants cheap flights and if they know that their carrier is involved in some gray ethical areas, they simply choose to look away.

Certainly Ryanair’s treatment of Sarah was inexcusable, if not plain stupid, and of the union-busting efforts illegal, but do you consider Ryanair’s treatment of probationary employees unethical?

 I think that Ryanair’s actions were unethical, but I strongly believe in model of conducting business that says employees that are treated as an asset not as a cost are far more effective and productive, so that is why I think that Ryanair could earn even more money if they would invest in employees. The example of good politics towards employees can be other airlines – Southwest Airlines from Texas. They are main low cost carrier in USA, but their workers earn more money than they could in other companies at the same position and they are more involved in company life. This result in this that the Southwest Airlines employees are more satisfied from they work than they could be anywhere else. So to conclude I think that in objective way, Ryanair's action lies in a gray ethical area, but if we really want to move further as a society these actions should be considered unethical.

 In judging Ryanair’s policy as  "unethical," I reference the module materials where there various philosophical frameworks for judging something to be ethical or unethical are laid out.   Specifically, I would cite “fairness,” “promise keeping” (although it is more implicit than explicit in Ryanair’s hiring), and industry norms in the airline industry.  In the case of Ryanair, the organizational culture of cost-cutting is so pervasive as to lead to a discounting of any consideration of ethics in their hiring policy.

RYANAIR CABIN CREW PAYE TAXATION..RYANAIR LARGEST AIRLINE EMPLOYER OF ZERO HOUR CONTRACTS.

 Ryanair over the last week have seen 1 billion wiped off their share price which is great news to probationary cabin crew who continue to be exploited by Mr O,Leary.
With Ryanair being the largest airline giving out ZERO hour contracts to young cabin crew, Ryanair.s Michael O'Leary is conning the PAYE of probationary cabin crew in a big way..
As you can see below, Ryanair pilot group sent a open letter to Ryanair,s CEO Michael O'Leary on 30th January 2015 regarding the Irish taxation with no mention of the conning of PAYE with probationary Ryanair cabin crew who in many cases are paid a low monthly salary of  below £600.

I understand that Ryanair pilots are exploited in a very big way by Ryanair with many in thousands of £ of dept which will take years to pay off.What the Ryanair pilot group continue to ignore is the foul treatment their cabin crew colleagues are going through and need their help.
New recruited cabin crew are paying up to 42% PAYE rate to the Irish government.

 Ryanair's CEO MichaelO'Leary and his boss David Bonderman for years have been exploiting young probationary cabin crew at Ryanair all for profit.
The media have reported that taxation for crew is much cheaper in Ireland than other European countries were probationary Ryanair cabin crew are working which is simple not true,probationary Ryanair cabin crew have paid up to 42% tax from their salary each month which is millions of Euros in taxes paid each year Thousands of probationary cabin crew at Ryanair who's PAYE has been taken each month has been held in a high interest Bank of Ireland account for an 11 month period earning Ryanair a mighty profit before handing it over to the Irish Tax Office which may not be an illegal practice but how much of the high Tax rate of 42% is kept by Ryanair ??? which is illegal...Tax levels for probationary Ryanair cabin crew in Ireland should be 20%..Ryanair and so call third parties Crewlink and Workforce continue to have a policy of ''recruitment for termination'' of young people wishing to become cabin crew which gains Ryanair bigger profits from Taxation of these new recruits.Probationary cabin crew are being charged the emergency Irish tax rate due to the deliberate misuse and loss of probationary cabin crews p45..
The Irish government is fully aware of these issues stated above and turn a blind eye..
Every part of recruitment,employment and taxation of probationary Ryanair cabin crew is a SCAM with many young people having their lives damaged forever by Ryanair and the Irish governments must act..

Look at the PAYE charges below from Probationary cabin crew at Ryanair..This is going on each month lining David Bonderman and Michael O;Leary's pockets.

 

Irish Independent - 25 January 2015 talking to Ryanair,s Scum Bag CEO Michael O,Leary..

 http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/irelands-personal-tax-regime-ludicrously-penal-on-young-people-ryanair-boss-michael-oleary-30934427.html

 SCUM Bag Michael O'Leary's comments in the Independent below..

The salary at which the top rate of income tax kicks in - currently €33,800 - should be increased to €100,000, Mr O'Leary told the Sunday Independent.
"How are you meant to buy a house if you are hitting the top rate of tax - which when calculated with PRSI and USC is now around 55pc - at €34,000? That's not enough to allow you to buy a house or to even save to buy a house.
"I think that segment - and clearly that's where a lot of our people are, in the wage space between €34,000 and €100,000 - the fact that they are in the top rate of tax is a disgrace. I think the personal tax regime here in Ireland is far too penal.
"Not necessarily for rich people like me. . . but I think a much bigger issue here is the rate at which younger people hit the top rate of tax. If you're a single person in this country you hit the top rate of tax at around €34,000. That is a ludicrously penal tax regime.
"Far too much Government time is spent providing for the unemployed or the non-income earners . . . I think young people shouldn't hit the top rate of tax until you get to maybe income of €100,000."
The Ryanair boss joins a growing group of high-profile chief executives, many of them from multinationals, who have openly denounced Ireland's personal tax regime.
The American Chamber of Commerce has been particularly vocal on the issue.
Former AmCham president and PayPal Europe chief Louise Phelan has repeatedly described the current marginal rate as being too high and the level at which it applies as too low. The system is a disincentive for multi-nationals considering Ireland as a base, she said in 2014.

Ryanair do not like bloggers or websites attacking them with the true about Safety on board,working conditions and money Ryanair make.

RYANAIR PILOT DEATH.CORONER INQUEST INTO SUICIDE RYANAIR ROSTERING DETAILS CHANGED..???

Ryanair Europe's largest low cost airline are not all they seem. Since 2004 when US David Bonderman became the Ryanair chief, exploitation of Pilots and Cabin Crew have become priority.
The life of cabin crew and pilots mean nothing to David Bonderman just as long as a profit is made
 as you will see below.
RYANAIR PROFIT PRIORITY...PILOT DEATH..

In 2009 Ryanairdontcare  Campaign targeted Mr Bonderman's TPG business for protest in London and Texas regarding is work in civil rights for the US attorney general which was perfect, as Bondo (to his friends) changed his Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bonderman and deleted special assistant to Attorney General in civil rights division. www.gemalto.com/investors-site/agm-site/.../annex3_bonderman.pdf  as a direct result of Ryanairdontcare Campaign.

Civil rights of workers were ready to exploit by Bondo soon as he became involved with Ryanair which makes 10s of Millions £ each year with the majority personally going in David Bonderman and Michael O,Leary;s pockets.

In May 2011 a Ryanair pilot whistle-blower contacted Ryanairdontcare Campaign with information regarding the suicide of a Ryanair pilot named Paul Ridgard. This was not the first time information regarding Ryanair's crew involving suicide was sent, it was talked about among cabin crew who were being bullied and exploited by Ryanair management to the extent that ending your own life may have been the only option.
The senior Ryanair management mainly involved where Eddie Wilson and Darrell Hughes who you can see below being confronted about Paul Ridgard's suicide..

http://www.youtube.com/user/RYANAIRDONTCARE#p/u/8/woCCvUpePcU

As you can below part of a message that was sent to Ryanairdontcare Campaign from a whistle-blower regarding Paul Ridgard a Ryanair pilot based at Liverpool.

Paul Ridgard first officer in Ryanair.

His father died, and didn't get leave to go to his funeral and had to work.
furthermore,
after his father died, his mother got sick as well.

he asked Ryanair to have unpaid leave, but off course this was denied. he asked this multiple times, due to personal and psychological circumstances.

Paul, was rejected for his command upgrade.

a week ago, he walked to he aircraft with the base TRE. upon walking to the aircraft the base TRE of LPL told him he had to fail him in advance. with even not doing a official check.
the base tre was told by tony owens, the head of training. RYANAIR already decided that paul wouldn't get his command. never.
This all, together with his loss of his father, with being bullied by the company, getting no unpaid leave, working on funeral days, not being fit to fly and in the end getting the story that he was kept warm by the company, who didn't give a shit, and in the end told him that he would never get his command upgrade... 

Sadly Mr Paul Ridgard committed suicide at a hotel in Manchester airport in 2011 with a Ryanair Pilot saying Ryanair's management involvement with his state of mind. The two messages below were posted on this blog in 2011 from Manchester Police.

John,

Thank you for your response regarding the investigation into Paul Ridgard.

I apologise for not getting back to you sooner, however I have been dealing with other matters.  I am now on leave until 27/06/11.

In relation to Paul's death I am mainly interested in the first instance in people who had direct contact with him and could give an insight into how he was feeling in the weeks or months leading up to his death.  Whilst I am aware there are some issues at Ryanair that may have contributed to his state of mind the focus of my investigation is on people who directly knew Paul and can say for certain how he was feeling.

Therefore I would appreciated it if you could respond with a more detailed email regarding your personal knowledge of Paul Ridgard and relationship to him.  As you can understand I have had a large number of emails from Pilots from Ryanair and I am trying to conduct some triage to ensure that, at this stage in the enquiry, I am only speaking to people who had a direct relationship with Paul.

Regards,

John,
Thank you for your interest in this investigation.  As a result of the appeal for information which was posted on your blog I have been in contact with a number of Pilots who both currently work for Ryanair or are ex employees of Ryanair, and, most importantly, personally knew Paul Ridgard and had conversations with him regarding his personal well being.  These people have been statemented and included within the final file which was sent to the coroner last month pending an inquest.
As the matter is under the jurisdiction of the coroner I cannot disclose to you the contents of this file however all aspects of Paul Ridgards life have been investigated thoroughly to allow the coroner to have an impartial view of issues in his life leading up to his death.  Coroners inquests are often a stressful and sad time for the family involved as they often happen months after the original incident and old wounds can be re opened.  I understand you have some issues with Ryanair, however I would ask you to respect the family of Paul Ridgard and refrain from using the day of the inquest as an opportunity to further your protest against Ryanair.
As regards this person in Dublin who wishes to contact you regarding Paul Ridgard speak to him by all means.  If he has information that is corroborated by physical evidence then we will by all means consider it should he wish to provide his details to the police and make a statement to be read in open court.  In the event that people are coming forward to you with personal grievances against individuals within Ryanair or matters of flight safety these matters are more appropriately dealt with by the Health and Safety Executive or via an Industrial Tribunal within employment law.

DC Matt Fryer contacted Ryanairdontcare Campaign and information was given to him relating to Mr Ridgard,Ryanair and aviation people in Dublin.

DC Fryer was working with the coroner and was investigation this suicide of a Ryanair Pilot with the help of Ryanairdontcare Campaign.

Ryanairdontcare Campaign personally contacted the Manchester Stockport coroner so that I could be present at this inquest. As you can see from email above and below I was not welcome. What sane person would protest at a inquest into a death?..This was the way in keeping me away from this inquest as I could clearly see if this was fully investigated by DC Matt Fryer.

The points I wish to make regarding Mr Paul Ridgards inquest are,

1,I do believe the state of Mr Ridgards mind in relation to the abuse he suffered at the hands of Ryanair's senior management before his suicide was not fully investigated.

2,The Ryanair rostering contact information which is Mr Ridgard's personal contact with Ryanair is not complete and was in given to DC Matt Fryer to investigate.

Ryanair's rostering information of pilots is not accountable to any aviation body.Ryanair's Pilot and cabin crew rostering can be changed at any time by Ryanair to suit the agenda.
The rostering information that relates to Ryanairdontcare Campaign's founder John Foley,s daughter Sarah was given over by Michael O.Leary himself in 2012 and was clearly altered to suit Sarah's Termination.

The CPS decided that it would be to expensive to investigate Ryanair's treatment of Mr Paul Ridgard before his death and it would have been hard to prove. Was the full rostering contact from Ryanair to Paul Ridgard  given to the coroner ?????????? by law Ryanair should have given it to the coroner...You can see some of Paul's contact with Ryanair rostering before his death below...

Ryanair's rostering information regarding Paul Ridgard must be investigated by Manchester Police.
