Upto 300 jobs at Irish Airline brand Aer Lingus, are at risk with catering staff told today that the airline is intending to enter a new operational partnership next summer with a “dedicated catering provider”.
Aer Lingus issued a bulletin to staff outlining the plans to change its catering arrangements this morning, leaving staff unsure who the new catering partner will be, whether current Aer Lingus personnel will automatically transfer to that company, whether those staff would retain their existing terms and conditions, or whether they would face redundancy.
The staff bulletin states that because of future expansion plans at Dublin Airport, a number of Aer Lingus facilities can no longer be used for their intended purpose – and that the lease arrangements for the catering building and surrounding areas are ending.
