SIPTU Recommends DAA Workers Reject Pension Deal

SIPTU workers at the Dublin Airport Authority are to be told not to accept proposed pension restructuring.

The union's Pensions Committee has told the authority that it will not recommend its workerss accept the proposals, which has been designed to address a €750m deficit in Aer Lingus/DAA pension schemes.

It is understood that the union believes that DAA workers will be worse off than Aer Lingus staff in the proposed deal.

According to reports, the DAA has rejected the unions claim, saying that the two schemes are different and don't warrant comparison.
