Aer Lingus staff braced for further cutbacks

STAFF at Aer Lingus are bracing themselves for the possibility of further cuts after management questioned the company’s future.

Unions claim numerous sacrifices have been made at various stages over the past decade, and said any difficulties have not been communicated to staff in a series of regular meetings.

It emerged yesterday the company had expressed concern over its future in light of the poor state of the Irish economy and rising fuel prices internationally. It is expected to outline some of these concerns in detail at today’s agm.
