“Ryanair has ordered some flight attendants in Spain to repay salary increases of up to €3,000 (£2,525) following a legal dispute with their union.

A pay rise had been agreed with the Spanish union, CCOO, and it applied to all flight attendants regardless of what union they belonged to. But another Spanish union - Union Sindical Obrera - won a court case in March to nullify the deal.

The Irish airline has now written to Union Sindical Obrera to say it will be informing its members how much they owe.

Union Sindical Obrera has hit back at Ryanair’s decision to claw back five month’s worth of pay rises, but the firm said: “USO are complaining about pay cuts that result from their court case.”

It added: “Ryanair is complying with the court case that Union Sindical Obrera took to cut pay while it is under appeal.””

Pretty crazy case of malicious compliance. Union shot its own members in the foot.
