Ryanair Holdings Plc faces its first-ever strike as crews in Italy prepare to walk out as part of a push for unionization and company-wide contracts, and staff in six other countries also consider action.
Pilots and flight attendants in Italy plan to walk off the job for four hours from 1 p.m. local time on Dec. 15, according two unions. Workers in markets including Ireland, where Ryanair is based, will announce ballot results in coming days, according to a person familiar with the plans.
