IMPACT official Angela Kirk said she would be writing to company management immediately to seek confirmation of the arrangements for the implementation of the pay increases, including the rapid payment of back money due under the deal. Angela wants early discussions on a profit-sharing scheme after the Labour Court said the parties should engage in ‘without prejudice’ discussions on the potential for introducing profit-sharing arrangements.

IMPACT members in Aer Lingus have voted overwhelmingly (95.6%) to accept a Labour Court-brokered pay deal worth 8.5% over the 39 months from 1st April 2017. IMPACT branches representing cabin crew and middle managers at the airline had recommended acceptance of the package, which will see a 3% pay increase backdated to April 2017, and further instalments in 2018 and 2019.

 

Speaking after the announcement of the ballot outcome, IMPACT official Angela Kirk said she would be writing to company management immediately to seek confirmation of the arrangements for the implementation of the pay increases, including the rapid payment of back money due under the deal.

 

Angela said she also wanted early discussions on a profit-sharing scheme after the Labour Court said the parties should engage in ‘without prejudice’ discussions on the potential for introducing profit-sharing arrangements.

 

“Aer Lingus staff have worked hard to ensure that the airline survived the recession and thrived in the early years of recovery. We believe a profit-sharing scheme should be put in place as a way of recognising and rewarding workers’ contributions to the success of the company,” she said.

 

IMPACT says the pay package is similar to agreements reached in other successful industrial sectors. The 8.5% increase will be staged with payments on 1st April 2017 (3%), 1st May 2018 (2.75%) and 1st June 2019 (2.75%). The deal expires on 30th June 2020.

 

Pilots are not covered by the agreement as their pay is negotiated through a separate process.
