Obviously it's the Sindo so usual rules apply but not great press for EI. Surely it can't be that easy to just walk away with company or passenger property...and strange that this leaks to the media...I'm assuming it's a leak?
My reading of that is that there is an issue with company stock being pilfered. Aer Lingus want to install CCTV. Some staff are unhappy with that. The Unions are planning a hissy fit (seemingly over something else entirely, but they see this as a bargaining chip). Aer Lingus are carrying out a pre-emptive strike and using what is probably a small number of cases of customer property being lifted to gather public sympathy for their position.
Note that engaged with unions does not mean agreed with unions.
The last four paragraphs are key as they have nothing to do with what is being reported, but give all the background context needed.
