Redundant Spanair workers have rejected an offer of employment from Ryanair because of the obligation to pay taxes in Ireland and the fact that they have to open a bank account in Gibraltar to collect their wages.
The workers workers committee have said they would rather try to obtain work with the Spanish Airports Authority or be relocated at El Prat Airport in Barcelona.
The Chairman of Ryanair, Michael O'Leary, said the closure of Spanair was an inevitable tragedy because of the high management costs and invited the workers to apply for a job with his company. Although he underlined that Ryanair is Irish and the wages would be paid in an Irish bank and tax would also be paid in Ireland.
Spanair workers are not yet collecting unemployment benefit and were only paid 1,000 € for their wages in January.
