Aer Lingus cabin crew accept plan
Friday, 26 March 2010 18:23
Cabin crew at Aer Lingus have voted by 92% to 8% to accept the airline's €97m cost-saving plan.

This was their second ballot on the deal, which they rejected first time round by a margin of two to one.

Following that ballot, Aer Lingus announced it would make all 1,200 cabin crew redundant and rehire most on inferior terms and conditions and 230 would be made compulsorily redundant.
They had been the only group of workers at the airline to reject the plan.

Glad to hear it - and I'm not being triumphalist. I'm simply glad to hear that something is sorted.

Amazing how, when AL called their bluff, it went from 33% in favour, to 92%.

Reality bites.

I'm just relieved that taxpayers don't have to foot the bill for the govt's share of all those redundancies. It seemed like a bit of a scam.
