Aer Lingus pilots halted industrial action at the airline as their union leaders backed a 17.75 per cent pay rise offer late on Wednesday night, but some passengers still face cancelled flights into early next week.
“Following the communication from the Labour Court today and further clarification from Aer Lingus, Ilapa has met and passed a motion to recommend acceptance of the Labour Court’s recommendation,” said a statement.Ball now in pilots’ court as Labour Court recommends 17.75% pay boost Aer Lingus has already accepted the Labour Court recommendation, but Ialpa must put it to a vote of its members, which will begin on Thursday July 18th and close on Tuesday July 23rd.
Union officials’ endorsement looked to hang in the balance on Wednesday afternoon after it emerged that they had concerns about several issues, including the airline changing sick leave terms and declaring that some pilots observing the union’s work to rule failed to show for their flights.Ialpa sought pay increases of more than 20 per cent to compensate pilots for inflation, but said it moderated its stance during talks with the company.
