Ryanair Holdings Plc’s year-long dispute with unions took a bizarre turn with the release of CCTV footage the discount carrier says shows cabin crew staging a photo of them being forced to sleep on the floor at Malaga airport in Spain.
The original shot, posted Sunday on a Facebook page critical of Ryanair, appeared to depict staff bedded down at the terminal after being stranded by storms, and was accompanied by the suggestion that the company had “left them there.”
