The total number of ballots returned was 828 (approximately 83%). The result of the ballot was 92% in favour of the proposals, with 8% against.
It is significant that this result was achieved through a joint negotiating process. Furthermore, the agreement was achieved without any recourse to, or threat of, industrial action at any stage of the negotiations.
Extensive bilateral discussions took place last week (Friday 19th March) at the Labour Relations Commission (LRC), which gave the IMPACT cabin crew negotiating team deeper clarification in a number of areas which enabled the branch to put the cost saving proposals of February 15th to another ballot of its members.
The cabin crew branch committee has said that they are very pleased with the outcome of the ballot. They said that the past few months had been a difficult time for cabin crew as they faced very significant cost saving proposals barely a year following similar proposals valued at €15million.
However, the committee said that they hope that this will mark the start of a new relationship with management which is based on the principal of mutual respect.
