Congress expresses disappointment at failure of DAA / Aer Lingus talks in pensions dispute
 |
Exploratory talks between the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA), Aer Lingus and Congress unions to try to find a solution to the pension crisis at the company have ended without agreement. Talks between Congress unions and Aer Lingus on the pensions issue broke down on Thursday (27th February) and with the DAA on the previous day. In a statement, The Irish Congress of Trade Unions “expressed disappointment at the failure of the DAA to engage in meaningful talks or to table any serious and substantive proposals to discuss the long-running pension dispute.
“Congress also reiterated its commitment to engage in all meaningful talks and discussions, in order to achieve a fair and just resolution of the dispute.”
Earlier this month, SIPTU members at DAA, Shannon Airport Authority and Aer Lingus voted overwhelmingly to take industrial action, including all out strike, to bring about an acceptable resolution of the dispute on the pension issue.
