German union Verdi to meet Ryanair in Dublin on Wednesday to start pay talks

German union Verdi is expected to meet Ryanair in Dublin on Wednesday to start pay talks for around 1,000 cabin crew working in Germany for Europe’s largest low-cost airline, Reuters reported. Verdi is seeking a substantial pay increase, it said in a statement on Monday, and wants Ryanair to recognize German law and pay social security contributions. Ryanair endured its worst one-day strike on Friday. A walk-out by pilots in five European countries disrupted the plans of an estimated 55,000 travelers with the budget airline.
