Craft unions at Aer Lingus to vote next week on industrial action
15/03/2006 - 15:20:00Craft Unions at Aer Lingus are set to ballot their members next week, about whether to take industrial action.
Representatives of the unions met in Dublin airport this afternoon to discuss their opposition to the government's plans to part-privatise the airline.
SIPTU workers Dublin, Cork and Shannon have already voted in favour of balloting for industrial action if the privatisation goes ahead.
The workers are concerned about possible job cuts and an erosion of workers' term s and conditions if the airline is sold off to private investors.
