Aer Lingus shocks workers with redundancies
Washington DC News.Net
Monday 6th October, 2008
Aer Lingus will cut up to 1,500 jobs as part of a 74 million euro cost-saving program.
The company says most of the job losses will entail redundancies.
Management has said there will be voluntary redundancy or early retirement packages for cabin crew and ground staff in airports, catering and cargo divisions.
The company's hub at Belfast International Airport will remain fully staffed but facilities at Heathrow will be pared back.
The cabin crew base at Shannon will also close and services from New York, Boston and San Francisco will be staffed with US-based cabin crew from the summer of 2009.
Even though a deadline of 1st November has been set for the implementation of the cutback plan, airline trade unions have said they will recommend all-out industrial action to their members.
