Norwegian trade union Parat is suing budget airline Ryanair Holdings plc on behalf of employee Alessandra Cocca for wrongful termination and breach of Norwegian work environment regulations. Cocca was fired in January and made to leave on the day and left at Rygge Airport without a return ticket. Ryanair cites several work mistakes as the reason but according to Cocca it was her criticism of a superior that was behind the firing. The company has also argued it is not Cocca's true employer but that Crewlink Ireland Ltd. is. Cocca was hired over a three year period to cover an employee shortage. Parat argues this type on long term temping is in breach with Norwegian employment regulations.
