LRC expected to intervene in Aer Lingus dispute

THE Labour Relations Commission is expected to intervene in the Aer Lingus dispute over the weekend.

Sources have indicated they believe the LRC will have success in getting the sides round the table at least once before next Tuesday.

Aer Lingus yesterday suspended two more of its pilots and remained on course to ground the remainder — along with thousands of passengers — from next Tuesday for refusing to co-operate with the selection and training of pilots for the airline’s new Belfast base.
