The summer peak travel season is here and so is the threat of strike action at Aer Lingus.
A pilots’ strike at Aer Lingus looked “inevitable” on Monday after more than 99 per cent of them voted for industrial action in a row over pay, the Irish Times is reporting.
The Irish Airline Pilots’ Association confirmed the result of the vote. The result was 662-6 in favor of strike action.
The Times reported: "Observers say a strike at the carrier looks inevitable as a consequence, as there is little sign of the gap between the sides closing. Pilots are seeking pay rises of more than 20 per cent.
"A series of one-day strikes is thought to be the most likely course that they will follow, although they have the option of working to rule, which could still disrupt flights."
