there was an interesting piece on the EI cost cutting on RTE on Tuesday. Can't find a link but the general thrust of what I heard was the timing of the cuts are crucial for EI. In December a new ruling comes into force(stemming from the Irish Ferries saga), that will ban contract workers crossing pickets. So if Aer Lingus can't get their cuts in place by then, they are completely snookered if the staff go on strike and is the reason they are pushing for this to be in place by November. Anyone know the full details of this or see this story? Didnt get the full report so sorry for half information but have I got this right?
