O'Leary wants to see rules drawn up to enforce arbitration before strike action. Tuesday's strike by French ATCs, their 40th since 2009, has unsurprisingly brought a further strong reaction from Ryanair who have called on the French Government and European Commission "to take immediate action to prevent thousands of European consumers from having their travel plans disrupted or holidays cancelled by tiny groups of Air Traffic Control (ATC) unions going on strike tonight (Monday)." Ryanair is responsible for launching Keep Europe's Skies Open, which is an online petition allowing European consumers the opportunity to join their action to protect Europe from repeated disruption by ATC unions. Once the petition achieves one million signatures Ryanair intends take it to the EU in Brussels and press for the Commission and the EU Parliament to take action.
