Aer Lingus flights facing Saturday disruption
Aer Lingus flights from Dublin, Cork and Shannon Airports could be disrupted this Saturday due to a row over the airline’s plan to lay off 1,325 workers.
SIPTU, which represents more than half of the company’s 4,000 staff, is planning to hold general meetings at the three airports from noon on Saturday unless Aer Lingus lifts the September 14 deadline for acceptance of a redundancy package.
The union believes the deadline does not give the workers enough time to adequately consider their future options.
It has also expressed concern about the impact of the job cuts on staff members who remain at Aer Lingus after the restructuring plan is implemented.
