The Irish IAG subsidiary could face downsizing after June 21, 2020. The background to this is that the government's short-time working model is expiring.

Aer Lingus warns its employees: As soon as the Irish government's Covid-19 wage subsidy program expires on June 21, unilateral dismissals, wage cuts and shortened working hours can be expected. How many employees have to believe in it is not yet known.

The union criticizes this approach and appeals to the common sense of the IAG subsidiary. One should not make hasty decisions and consider other options, such as ch-aviation.com reported. Until the end of the short-time work, half of the salary will be paid to the workforce. The remaining part would be taken over by the state.
