Aer Lingus Action 'Won't Hit Flights'
There will be no disruption to passengers when Aer Lingus industrial action 'takes-off' later this month.
Flights will not be affected during industrial action in two weeks as cabin crew begin a work-to-rule on Wednesday week after accusing the airline's management of imposing gruelling new rosters.
They will work strictly within the terms of their contracts after voting by an overwhelming 96% majority in favour of industrial action. The ballot had a 67% turnout.
However, the IMPACT union representing cabin crew said the industrial action from August 25 would not affect flights in or out of the country and also said its members will "not be on strike".
The airline previously threatened to sack staff who did not agree to its €97m cost-cutting plan, which includes an increase in the cabin crew's flying hours to 850 a year.
The cabin crew have accepted the increase to 850 hours, but object to the rosters that management drew up to achieve it.
They claim the rosters mean longer shifts with no breaks and 60 hours' work over seven days.
