Airline chiefs to man check in as strike looms

AER LINGUS management could be handling baggage check-ins next week in a bid to reduce the chaos caused when SIPTU workers go on strike.

The airline is assembling a task force, made up of a number of people including airline management, who will take on some of the roles carried out by SIPTU workers, including baggage control and check in.

The airline has been thrown into turmoil by SIPTU’s decision to proceed with the action next week.
