Aer Lingus strike action on hold

CABIN crew strikes at Aer Lingus scheduled for next week at Shannon, Cork and Dublin Airports have been called off, pending consideration of a Labour Court recommendation which will be issued on Thursday.

IMPACT, the union representing cabin crew, is meeting Aer Lingus management at the Labour Court in a bid to avert two days of planned industrial action next week. The rostering of staff is at the heart of the dispute.

Cabin crew believe sufficient progress has been made to call off the strikes.
