DAA Seeks Injunction Against SIPTU
Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) has been granted leave by the High Court to seek an injunction against the union, SIPTU, from taking industrial action at Dublin and Cork airports next Friday.
In a statement, DAA said it had "no choice but to take this step".
DAA said the industrial action is contrary to the provisions of the Industrial Relations Act.
The firm said: "SIPTU only balloted a portion of its membership on the proposal and the planned work stoppages are also contrary to existing agreements between the company and the trade union."
