Union And Airline Accept Labour Court Recommendation

Cabin crew at Aer Lingus have accepted a Labour Court recommendation in a dispute over work rosters.

Upcoming strike action was called off to allow IMPACT, representing the workers, and Aer Lingus management to consider the proposals of the Labour Court. The proposals included further talks to be overseen by the court; the restoration of cabin crew travel privileges; and the recruitment of 20 additional staff.

It has been recommended that the union and airline establish a technical group to explore the introduction of a five-day-on, three-day-off work roster, but the Labour Court stressed that any new roster must meet the high productivity set out in a previous agreement and be cost-neutral.
