900 jobs to go as airline seeks to save €97m
The company yesterday said it could not accept proposals put forward by worker unions as alternatives to its plans to introduce pay cuts, 676 job losses and changes in pension arrangements.
Management told an extraordinary board meeting of the airline that the collapse of talks on those alternatives had left it with no option but to press ahead with its original plan and also to seek further job losses both in ground and air crew through the grounding of additional aircraft.
