AER LINGUS CABIN CREW have called off a work-to-rule strike threatened for today over a roster dispute.
Impact, the trade union representing the crew, said it would suspend the action to allow “detailed consideration” of the findings issued by the Labour Relations Commission yesterday evening.
The LRC delivered an arbitration ruling on the dispute between crew and management.
The union said:
The detailed findings, which run to 39 pages and reflect the complex technical issues under consideration, deserve and demand close reading and analysis.
Time will also be required for cabin crew staff to read, digest and discuss the document.
Staff said the strike would not have affected the flight schedule.
The ongoing dispute between staff and management centres on a range of cost-cutting measures planned by the airline.
Yesterday the airline announced losses of over €20m for the first half of this year – a significant improvement on the €81.7m lost in the same period of last year.
