AIB staff cars row may go to LRC

A group of bank workers are claiming they are being unfairly treated by AIB’s proposed move to remove their company cars.

As part of a cost-cutting measure, AIB is proposing that the bank’s financial planning consultants no longer have functional cars.

The move is being strenuously resisted by the Irish Bank Officials Association (IBOA) and before the Labour Court, AIB has argued that the role of the financial planning consultant has changed immensely and the majority of consultants are now branch-based or at the very most are required to travel between two branches, if at all.
