SIPTU has welcomed the intervention of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions in a dispute between the union and IMPACT over Aer Lingus cabin crew members.
In May the section committee representing 1,650 cabin crew was dissolved by SIPTU after it told the secretary of the Aer Lingus branch, Mr Tony Walsh, that it intended to campaign for a transfer of members to IMPACT.
The SIPTU branch secretary, Mr Tony Walsh, said the last thing his union wanted was to be in a dispute with another union over membership.
"We believe that the only way of resolving the current situation is through calm and honest dialogue, something that the ICTU investigation will facilitate," he said.
