What kind of a statement is that? So basically you're saying staff should roll over and let themselves be screwed by a pension fund? They signed up to x and x can no longer be delivered through no fault of there own - They are fully right to request better and an IR dispute is the only way of getting both managements to sort it out - As it will be, before any planned strike goes ahead.
And it's not the airlines fault either who don't have to give a penny but are giving 140 million.
SIPTU are forcing similar cuts to their members but won't on DAA/EI staff, will they be supportive of their own strike, will the fund some of the hole in their pension. It's double standards by the union.
I agree it will be sorted out but going on strike is just as damaging to staff as the airline and doesn't achieve anything.
