Ryanair strike in Spain cancelled. Unions representing Ryanair's roughly 1,800 cabin crew in Spain have called off a 24-hour strike planned for January 8, 2019, but said they will go ahead with other work stoppages. Strike action planned for 10 January and 13 January will still go ahead. Last month, the USO and Sitcpla unions called the three 24-hour strikes because the airline had failed to reach agreement with them during mediation on improving work and pay conditions. However this evening the two unions called off the industrial action planned for Tuesday after holding talks in Madrid with Ryanair representatives, which has faced a wave of strikes in several European countries in recent months. The unions are demanding local contracts under local law rather than the Irish contracts Ryanair uses widely.
