Labour Court may rule on Aer Lingus dispute within days
28/07/2006 - 08:39:32The Labour Court is reportedly due to issue a ruling within days on the dispute over the planned privatisation of Aer Lingus.
SIPTU is vehemently opposed to the sale of the national airline and has threatened strike action unless its concerns about job security and the protection of employment conditions are addressed.
The union also has concerns about a massive deficit in the company's pension scheme and how this will be addressed after privatisation.
The two sides have made submissions on the matter to the Labour Court in recent days and reports this morning say a ruling could be issued within a matter of days.
