The Labor Inspectorate has sanctioned Ryanair for not applying the Minimum Interprofessional Wage (SMI) to cabin crew (TCP) following a complaint that USO filed in September 2021, a fine ranging between 751 and 7,500 euros.

As the union reported this Friday, USO denounced the hourly pay contracts and no base salary that Ryanair and its recruiting agencies applied to TCPs.

The Labor Inspectorate has analyzed the documentation provided by the union and considers that, since it does not specify whether they are full-time or part-time contracts, they are obliged to consider them full-time, for which reason they should receive the SMI.

The organization has verified that there are TCP payrolls lower than the SMI in force at the time of the complaint, for which salary is illegal. For this reason, the Labor Inspectorate has initiated disciplinary proceedings for a serious infraction in matters of labor relations.

In that same complaint before the Inspectorate, the union also claimed to supervise the hourly contracts of the TCPs through the Workforce agencies and Crewlink Ireland Limited, after which it has opened other disciplinary proceedings for serious infringements.

USO has indicated in a press release that “regardless of whether the remuneration is directly linked to the flight hours actually carried out, the company has the obligation to guarantee the receipt, on a monthly basis, of at least the amount established as SMI” .
