Union calls for Aer Lingus ‘bullying’ probe

A TRADE union representing staff at Aer Lingus has called for an independent investigation into the alleged bullying culture at the national airline.

The Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport heard from a range of unions yesterday, all of which criticised the airline’s industrial relations record.

Christina Carney of IMPACT, representing cabin crew, said: “It is our view that Aer Lingus management, in a planned and systematic way, attempted to make their working lives uncertain, miserable and unstable.”
