Siptu plans 'relentless' action at DAA and Aer Lingus over pensions

Siptu is planning a “relentless series of industrial action running through the summer and right into the autumn” at both Dublin Airport Authority and Aer Lingus, if there is no resolution to a three-year pensions dispute.

Following a meeting of Siptu’s national executive committee, its president Jack O’Connor said the union had tried diplomacy for the last three years, “but diplomacy obviously does not work”.

The union is facing legal actions by both firms following the March 14 strike which did not go ahead.
