Ryanair Holdings Plc signed its first-ever union contract, granting Italian pilots perks such as severance pay and parental leave in a deal the airline hopes to repeat across its network to quell a protracted labor dispute.
The agreement also commits Ryanair to making contributions to national health care and social-security funds, the Italian pilots union ANPAC said Tuesday in a statement. A “wide majority” backed the agreement after eight months of negotiations, it said.
