The executive of the union representing pilots at Aer Lingus has unanimously rejected an interim Labour Court recommendation aimed at resolving a long-running wage dispute between the airline and its pilots.
The rejection came following a meeting of the Irish Airline Pilots Association executive today to consider the proposals.
However, the increases would not include a"debt" that both parties agree results from changes to leave rosters and other arrangements that arise from a crewing agreement struck several years ago.The court has also recommended the continuation of engagement, with the assistance of the Workplace Relations Commission, on all matters in dispute with a view to reaching overall agreement.
The Labour Court also recommends that a fresh and stabilising approach is required which would allow continuing dialogue against a reasonable platform of wage growth across the period to date. "The emphasis of the submissions made by the parties to the Court has been to highlight the significant difference between the parties as regards almost all matters in dispute," it added."We note the challenges that the Court has outlined which prevented it from issuing a final and definitive recommendation on the issues before the Court," it said.
