Industrial action due at Aer Lingus

Aer Lingus staff will stage a two-hour work stoppage as the pension dispute at the airline escalates, unions have said.

The carrier will be served with notice of industrial action, which will happen from 10am on Nov 19. Cabin crew and ground, clerical, and administration staff will take part.

Four unions — Siptu, Unite, TEEU, and Mandate — said disruption to passengers would be solely due to the decision of Aer Lingus to stop talking to staff representatives about their future retirement incomes.
