LRC intervenes in bid to avert Aer Lingus strike

THE Labour Relations Commission has intervened in the dispute between Aer Lingus and its pilots in a bid to avert industrial action planned for next Tuesday.

Airline management and pilots union, the Irish Airline Pilots Association (IALPA), has accepted an invitation to talks by the LRC.

Some 87% of IALPA members balloted last week in favour of industrial action to begin on June 7 next.
