Siptu seeks legal advice as it calls off airport strikes after court move

Siptu is to seek legal advice on how it can press ahead with strikes at the country’s airports in the event that the ongoing pensions dispute remains unresolved.

The High Court yesterday granted an injunction to the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) preventing tomorrow’s four-hour stoppages from going ahead.

Mr Justice Paul Gilligan said the “legal validity” of the ballot for the action by Siptu members at the DAA over the ongoing pension dispute was “clearly in issue”.
