Strike at Galway Airport deferred

The strike by ground crew, fire crew and check in personnel at Galway Carnmore Airport which was due to start on Thursday October 30 has been deferred.This comes after management at the airport agreed that it would not unilaterally implement cutbacks in pay or hours of airport workers ahead of a Labour Relations Committee meeting to be held on November 6.
SIPTU's Paul Galvan said that "Our 45 members' rates of pay range from €11 to €14 per hour which hardly makes them high earners. While we are willing to agree cost cutting proposals, as we did at Knock Airport, it must be on the basis of equity".
