Prisoners of Social Partnership John Nixon Ryanair CEO Michael O Leary has just netted a cool £30 million after selling seven million of his shares in Ryanair. He still holds 44 million shares, 6% of the company valued at £194 million. Big money. O'Leary's profits come on top of a £17 million bonus he pocketed on the day a major strike for better pay by Ryanair baggage workers ended in March 1998. Ryanair's contempt for and non-recognition of unions, its despicable treatment of workers and arrogant disregard for any arbitration whether High Court or otherwise. The story of Ryanair's baggage workers strike of 1997, and the Irish nurses strike of 1999 when 10,000 nurses marched through the streets of Dublin and the ramifications for workers, unions and social partners is well documented and debated in a gem of a book written by Joe Craig and published by Socialist Democracy.
