Aer Lingus crew votes for strike action

Cabin crew at Aer Lingus have voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action in a row over compulsory relocation of 29 staff from Shannon to Dublin.

It is understood that over 93% of staff voted for strike action.

Meanwhile, the Labour Relations Commission has invited Aer Lingus management and union representatives for cabin crew and pilots to meet on Friday morning in a bid to resolve their differences.

Pilots had also voted for industrial action two weeks ago amid fears that the airline planned to make some pilots compulsorily redundant.

Forty-six pilots have been on full pay with no work since Aer Lingus sold off a number of aircraft which were surplus to requirements.
