Sligo Airport Firefighters Launch Work-to-Rule Action

0:00On April 16, firefighters at Sligo Airport, who are members of the SIP-2 Union, kicked off work to rule action today over a fight for union, recognition. They're banning overtime and maintenance work, which means airport ops will start slowing down right away. Earlier this month, these workers voted by a huge majority to take industrial action, even up to full strikes if needed. SIP-2 says management flat out refuses to bargain collectively with the union. The union's organizer, Andrew Kloon, made it clear this won't shut things down. Cold emergency services stay on point, but it'll grind efficiency over. Time. Folks are frustrated, feeling like their right to union rep is being ignored. Rescue and medical flights get full support, and fire prevention keeps running through shifts to keep safety solid. No word yet from airport bosses, who've been reached for common. This standoff could drag if management doesn't step up, but for now, it's all about pushing for that fair shake on the bargaining table.
