Ryanair PLC (LON:RYA) workers have gone on strike again, forcing the budget airline to cancel more than 250 flights.
Around 35,000 passengers are thought to be affected, with Unions claiming this is the biggest day of action yet. The Irish outfit said 90% of its flights would be operating as normal.

Employees around Europe are unhappy with some of their working conditions and have walked out before to demonstrate their unhappiness.
They want to be given contracts in the countries where they live, rather than under Irish law which they say inconveniences them and affects their ability to access things such as social security benefits.
Workers in the Netherlands are also said to want pensions in-line with Dutch standards as well as firmer guarantees on sick pay.
So @Ryanair warns customers about a cancelled flight attributing it to an UNNECESSARY strike by their cabin crew? One could say it was cancelled because of the unnecessary way you treat your employees. Or the unnecessary way you avoid dealing with the problems that lead to it. pic.twitter.com/2Y61vXsK1J

The root of the row stretches back to last autumn when 400,000 Ryanair passengers had their flights cancelled as a cock-up with staff holidays meant the airline did not have enough pilots to honour its schedule.
Ryanair shares were down 0.3% to €13.12.
