Labour Court asks Aer Lingus & SIPTU to attend talks

The Labour Court intervened in the Aer Lingus dispute this evening, in an effort to avert possible industrial action.

It has invited SIPTU and the company to attend talks tomorrow.

SIPTU has threatened strike action later this week in response to the company's intention to introduce new contracts.

The union's National Industrial Secretary Michael Halpenny confirmed that the union will attend the talks.
