BBT Good Luck with your attitude, It stinks of insecurity and immatureness.......Hope you have a plan 'B'........
Headinclouds, this is my final comment for you are now revealed to be what you are ....
There was no attitude in what I wrote, I merely pointed out that you seem to suffer from the delusion that industrial agreements are protected by the courts. In some countries they are, but not in most. Normally you protect your agreements by industrial muscle. This is a fact, and not an attitude. The issue underlying this dispute was spelled out in today's Irish Times in simple terms - I don't have a copy to hand, but the thrust was that Aer Lingus management had agreed in advance to consult on all issues and blatently failed to honour its commitment to do so. The response by IALPA was immediate. A surprise to you perhaps..... but not to others.
I do not need a "Plan B" for it is not my fight. Your powers of deduction clearly are as weak as your grasp of the issues. (What evidence was there in my post to justify concluding that I was a participant!?).
ASFKAP above you seem to suffer from the notion that
... this dispute about the fact the managment of Aer Lingus haven't spoken to you about their plans or the actual plans themselves?
No, it is because they did not honour an agreement to consult and made it clear that they would not and, indeed, that they will not even allow third party intervention to mediate an agreed outcome. (I listened to somebody from Aer Lingus dodge and weave on this on the radio today, but the refusal to have mediation is obvious enough).
Judging from the rest of your post you would not seem to be the type of person who would care about that kind of thing - an outlook and point of view to which you are, of course, entitled. But let's not make basic mistakes about what this is all about. It is really quite simple.
