Dublin Airport workers withdraw strike action for Monday

SIPTU has agreed to attend the Labour Relations Commission after talks today.

SIPTU HAS WITHDRAWN its planned industrial action for this coming Monday following talks with the strike action committees of Aer Lingus and DAA.

The union, representing thousands of workers at Dublin Airport, have “reluctantly” agreed to attend the Labour Relations Commission (LRC) with both Aer Lingus and DAA.

A High Court hearing had been planned for tomorrow as DAA attempted to secure an injunction preventing the industrial action.

The dispute centres on the funding of the Irish Aviation Pensions Scheme which has a deficit of €700 million.

SIPTU has said it will enter talks following the last-minute intervention by the LRC. However, they have described it as a final attempt to resolve the issues surrounding the pensions scheme.

    Yes I do know what they stand for. They are an organisation of people that care about fluffing their own egos than animal rights.

    Check out an of the widely available documentation of PETA funding the extermination of healthy dogs that could have been rehomed.

    Also they are categorically against dog breeders and as such would rather see the breeding animals die so that no further puppies may be bred from them.

    PETA are filth.

    Nonsense! It is obvious you have read very biased articles on Peta. They do not hide what they do, they admit they destroy animals only when there is no other option. I am not going to get into a discussion on the matter there is plenty of answers on Petas website. Its strange that all the anti Peta material is financed by a large drinks company that own a number of sealife parks that Peta has exposed as cruel.
