The Labour Relations Commission is to meet with management at Aer Lingus and the trade union Impact tomorrow in a bid to resolve the row involving cabin crew and the company.
However, sources said this would not involve the reopening of the negotiating process over a planned €97 million cost-saving programme at the airline.
Last week, Aer Lingus chief executive Christoph Mueller said the company would be terminating the employment of all 1,200 cabin crew at the airline. Most would be rehired on inferior terms and conditions, but around 230 will be made compulsorily redundant and will receive only statutory entitlements.
The move followed the rejection by cabin crew at the airline of the €97 million cost-saving plan that would have avoided compulsory redundancies. All other groups in the company have accepted the plan.
