No agreement in Aer Lingus jobs talks

AER LINGUS workers were no closer to knowing the fate of their jobs last night after a marathon meeting by the airline’s board failed to reach a decision on a massive cost-cutting proposal.

The board met behind closed doors for nine hours to discuss a plan which is believed to involve the axing of up to 1,500 jobs from the cabin crew, ground crew and catering staff at Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports.

Sources said after the meeting that the deliberations were not conclusive and further talks would be held.
