From RTE news on the aer Lingus dispute
-"Cabin crew will be restored to normal duties and payroll pending the outcome of a binding LRC arbitration.
IMPACT will suspend industrial action pending that outcome, which the union says is expected soon.
Aer Lingus says it made concessions on issues relating to the quality of life of staff, including the timing of meals, and time off."
Take that Mick!!! To spite supplying aircraft to Aer Lingus "at below market rates" it looks like your new best friends in Aer Lingus management have caved in.
Just goes to show what a union when properly run and organised can achieve. Any airline including FR cannot afford to have billions in assets sitting on the ground not earning money. FR pilots take note, the cabiin crew in Aer Lingus have taken on their management and Mick and still won!!
We would have to strike and Mick will fight. But how long can he survive with his aircraft on the ground? 1 month, 2 months? and over the summer???
So we would not be paid for a few months. Not a major issue for BRK, hours will be made up anyway, as for FR contract guys, just consider it " compulsory unpaid leave". Remember that little gem from last Year?
I read in one of the posts that we will not strike or join a union because noone will make a stand and stick their head up. We dont need to stick our heads up, we have the internet!! Anyone know how to set up a web site that is not attached to a union and cannot be subject to legal attack by Mick?
Its up to us!!
