Ryanair Holdings Plc pilots in the Netherlands followed their German colleagues in voting in favor of strikes, raising pressure on the discount giant already smarting from walkouts last week in five other countries in a dispute over pay and conditions.
Nearly all flight deck crew backed “possible” industrial action, the Dutch Airline Pilots Association said in an email Tuesday. No strike dates have been decided by the union, which represents 40 Ryanair pilots at Eindhoven airport. The outcome came a day after German pilots also threw their support behind labor action.
