No new strikes at Aer Lingus

The Aer Lingus cabin crew union has denied reports it is planning a 48-hour stoppage in June as a follow-up to the 24-hour strike on May 30 over rosters.

In a trading statement issued yesterday, the airline said Impact trade union had indicated it would issue “further notice of industrial action in due course”. A media report also said if the rostering issue was not resolved before the first strike takes place, Impact would consider a 48-hour stoppage some time in June.

However, Impact said it has made no decision on any further industrial action. A spokesman said it had told the airline in the letter about the May 30 strike that “notice of further strike action will be given to you at a later to date”.
