LRC Brokers Aer Lingus Deal
The dispute between Aer Lingus and its cabin crew has ended after over a fortnight of disruption.
The trade union Impact, representing the disgruntled workers, said their current industrial action will be suspended while its members will be returned to the payroll and their normal duties.
The Labour Relations Commission, who have overseen the last phase of negotiations taking place since the end of last week, are to put together a binding arbitration to secure the deal within the coming days.
Impact said that virtually all the issues of disagreement had been resolved between the two parties during talks at the LRC but that final arbitration was required to complete the process.
It said that both parties had also signed up to ‘industrial peace’ for the duration of the overall cost-saving ‘Greenfield’ agreement at the airline and to resolve any future disputes through normal procedures.
This moning, Aer Lingus said it was endeavouring to operate its full schedule today but, despite the resolution, there was the potential for some disruption to the schedule arising from the ongoing industrial action by Cabin Crew represented by the Impact Trade Union.
"To assist any customers affected by flight cancellations we have activated a change for free and refund request facility on www.aerlingus.com
Aer Lingus said it regrets any inconvenience caused and is doing all possible to avoid schedule disruption for its customers.
