Ryanair pulls staff and planes out of Marseille in row over contracts. Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary, the unflinching king of cost-cutting, may finally have met his match in the strictness of French employment law.
The Irish low-cost airline will close its only French base in Marseille this week in the latest round of a bitter war with French authorities. O'Leary has been engaged in a stand-off with France since pilots' unions and the state took legal action against him for employing Marseille-based crew on Irish contracts rather than paying higher social security and tax in France.
