Unions still to be swayed by IAG bid for Aer Lingus

Unions representing workers at Aer Lingus are due to brief their shop stewards at the airline today and tomorrow to further clarify their stance on the proposed takeover of the airline by aviation group IAG.

An ICTU-led delegation, which included representatives from Impact and Siptu, met yesterday with IAG to talk about the latter’s proposed €1.36bn takeover of the airline. Unions are set to meet Aer Lingus management at the end of this week. A spokesperson for IAG said they had no further comment to make in the aftermath of yesterday’s meeting.

None of the unions were updating their stances ahead of meeting their own representatives at Aer Lingus.
