Aer Lingus staff plot holiday stoppage
Shop stewards will meet before the end of this week to decide on a campaign of escalated strike action, which begins on Monday and will continue to Jan 1.
The row centres on a €750m hole in the aviation staff’s pension scheme. However, Siptu is not prepared to sign up to an Ibec-Ictu conciliation process if Aer Lingus insists on new staff work practices in exchange for a €100m contribution to the scheme.
