An indefinite work-to-rule started at midnight with an eight-hour strike planned for Saturday
Members of the Irish Air Line Pilot's Association began an indefinite work-to-rule at midnight on Wednesday.The airline said it is disappointed the Labour Court did not intervene in the dispute but will instead review the matter in July.
The airline said it "has made it clear that it remains available for discussions both directly and through the State’s industrial relations framework”. It called on IALPA to "consider the damage that its continued industrial action is inflicting upon passengers, the company and the Irish economy”.Speaking to BBC News NI, IALPA president Capt Mark Tighe said the work was now in place because Aer Lingus management “have refused to see the reasonableness of our accumulative inflationary pay claim”.Capt Tighe said and "acceptable offer" would see the industrial action end.
Capt Tighe said people should be aware that it is only a small number of pilots that give up their days off to work.
