Air workers vote yes to 15% pay cut

WORKERS at maintenance and ground-handling provider Aviance have voted two to one in favour of a 15% pay cut that will save 150 jobs at Dublin airport.

Aviance had been planning to close its Dublin operation because it had carried out a full review of its British and Irish businesses and found that “the cost base and customer profile could not be sustained within the Dublin business model”.

It is believed it has been finding it hard to compete with rivals that are less worker-friendly.
