SIPTU calls for all-out strike at Aer Lingus

SIPTU yesterday lodged an application for an all-out strike by all unionised workers at Aer Lingus.

The action, if it happens, is unlikely to take place for several weeks but if it goes ahead it will ground the airline completely for its duration.

The latest offensive by SIPTU has been called in response to the airline’sdecision to implement its Programme for Continuous Improvement (PCI-07) document without agreement from the union.
