More threats of action at Aer Rianta

Members of the Civil Aviation Branch of SIPTU have called on the Taoiseach to confirm that he will honour his commitment given to Aer Rianta employees to consult with them before any legislation is finalised in relation to the breakup of the company.

The branch, which represents 1,200 workers including clerical staff, cleaners and baggage handlers, met at Dublin Airport this morning after media speculation that legislation on the break up of the company is to approved at tomorrow's Cabinet meeting.

The union says that unless it gets confirmation from Taoiseach Bertie Ahern today that legislation will not be approved, industrial action will be inevitable.
