Industry Minister Carlo Calenda
on Wednesday blasted as "shameful" a Ryanair letter to its
pilots in Italy warning them they risk future salary increases,
promotions and transfers if they take part in a strike on
December 15.
"This is not within the realm of my responsibility, but I
think there should be an intervention," he said.
"You cannot be on the market, take the advantages and not
respect the rules".
The head of Italy's strikes watchdog Giuseppe Santoro
Passarelli said Wednesday that the Ryanair letter was probably
unconstitutional.
"The statements by the Ryanair management appear to not
respect the principles of our law regarding striking which, if
exercised legitimately, is considered a Constitutional right,"
Santoro Passarelli said.
"I would like to recall that law 146 (on strikes) censures
company conduct can determine the outbreak or aggravation of the
conflict".
