Tensions mount at Aer Lingus amid cabin crew rostering row

Tensions are mounting at Aer Lingus with longstanding issues around cabin-crew rostering.

Workers’ union, Impact, sent out ballot papers for ‘industrial action up to strike’, but has now parked that, while the sides go into mediation at an internal Industrial Disputes Resolution Board (IDRB).

One of the primary issues is the staffing of the larger, A330 transatlantic flights and the use of more cabin-crew members, and fewer cabin-crew seniors, than agreed.
