The executive of IALPA, the professional body for Irish airline pilots, and a branch of Fórsa trade union, has recommended acceptance of the Labour Court recommendation (23007), concerning the current dispute between IALPA and Aer Lingus.
Pilots commenced their ballot on the recommendation yesterday (Thursday) and the ballot will conclude next Tuesday, 23rd July, at 9am.
IALPA members immediately suspended their work-to-rule action, in place since late June, pending the outcome of the ballot, while flight schedules were confirmed to have returned to normal this week.
The recommendation by IALPA followed communication from the Labour Court last week, confirming IALPA’s understanding of a number of provisions in the recommendation. Aer Lingus also provided clarification of its intention to lift restrictions on staff travel when the industrial action was confirmed suspended.
IALPA subsequently passed a motion to recommend acceptance of the Labour Court's recommendation. The union has also hosted a series of information engagements with members this week, ahead of the ballot opening yesterday.
The ballot result will be made known before lunchtime on Tuesday 23rd July.
There’s never been a better time to join a union, and it’s never been easier. Join Fórsa today.
