Ryanair and Anpac sign recognition agreement for Italy

This agreement follows extensive negotiations with ANPAC since Ryanair’s December announcement that it was willing to recognise unions for collective bargaining purposes. Ryanair welcomes the positive and constructive engagement of ANPAC which led to the formal signing of this recognition agreement within eight weeks of first meeting.
