Aer Lingus warn of staff suspensions
In a move reminiscent of its battle with pilots less than a month ago, airline chief executive Dermot Mannion has written to every member of its ground staff telling them they must confirm in writing before next Monday they will not take part in the action planned by SIPTU for next Tuesday and Friday.
That action, four-hour rolling stoppages by 1,800 members including baggage handlers and check-in staff is expected to ground or severely delay more than 20,000 passengers on each day.
