Baggage handling dispute may disrupt air travel

TRAVELLERS passing through Dublin Airport may face serious disruption due to an industrial dispute.

Strike action at baggage handling company CityJet Handling appears likely to escalate to involve stoppages by other airport workers.

The threat to services this weekend was averted following a meeting of shop stewards at the airport last evening. However, the prospect of major delays to flights remains as a number of the strikers have been issued with notice starting next Wednesday.
