Aer Lingus unions and management have failed to reach agreement on pay and conditions at the airline to follow the expiry of its Survival Plan

Aer Lingus unions and management have failed to reach agreement on pay and conditions at the airline to follow the expiry of its Survival Plan at the end of this month.

Unions want PPF wage increases foregone to be paid in full. Management is willing to pay 5.5% but want the final 4% to be linked to work practice changes.

These include changes to rosters, overtime and cabin crew selling drinks on short haul routes.

The dispute has been referred to the Labour Court.
