Aer Lingus - 4

[Just a spotter]

Here's what I don't get ... according to IALPA (ont their web site)

IALPA is a branch of the Trade Union IMPACT

http://www.ialpa.ie/main.html

So, just a branch, not a seperate organisation

Now, the IMPACT site clearly states ...

IMPACT only organises in the 26 counties of the Republic of Ireland, where we are the second largest union.
IMPACT is affiliated to, and active in, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), the single trade union centre on the island of Ireland.

So my confusion is this, How can IALPA members strike in support of people who are
a) not yet currently employed by EI
b) not in their geographic coverage area
c) the terms of employment, or even the nature of the employing company (e.g. will they be employed by Aer Lingus (UK) for example) don't appear to have been released.

or am I just missing something?
