TGS Baltic has successfully represented ten former Ryanair employees in an unlawful dismissal dispute before a Lithuanian court of first instance.
"Ten former employees of Ryanair were unlawfully dismissed," the firm informed. "The employer, in the course of transfer of a part of the business, did not offer the employees the same employment conditions with the new employer (the business assignee) but decided to dismiss the employees due to excessive work functions. Employees, as flight attendants, were not given extended annual leave while working for Ryanair, either."
According to TGS Baltic, the proceedings lasted for almost two years and covered aspects of interpretation of the law in four jurisdictions, including Lithuania, Poland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. "The court of first instance awarded over EUR 602,000 to the employees and stated that the employees had been dismissed unlawfully [and] had not been given the extended annual leave they were entitled to."
The TGS Baltic team included Partner Ieva Povilaitiene and Associate Indre Mazeikaite.
