The South African Municipal Workers' Union (SAMWU) has condemned a Labour Court ruling that exempts the City of Tshwane from paying a 5.4% wage increase for the 2023/24 financial year. The judgment, delivered by Judge Snyman on Friday also sends a separate exemption application from the 2021/22 period back to the bargaining council for review. SAMWU says the ruling undermines collective bargaining and sets a dangerous precedent that weakens workers' rights. Elvis Presslin spoke to SAMWU Deputy General Secretary, Nkhetheni Muthavhi

Clare's retained firefighters claim a sour taste has been left in their mouths after being "pushed aside" by the Government for the last decade. It comes as SIPTU retained firefighters, who are part-time members paid an annual retainer to be on-call, have voted 64% in favour of Labour Court recommendations aimed at resolving their long-running pay dispute. The deal will see increased retainer payment dates brought forward as well as the implementation of restructured working hours. Shop steward for Clare's retained firefighters Edward Moloney has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons that the flexibility the new measures will offer them should've come a long time ago.

In this interview with BizNews, two top lawyers - who cracked open the Corruption Mafia at Fort Hare University - but are in the dock themselves on Monday, describe the implosion of their careers and their lives over the past year. Sarah Burger of Horizon Forensics says: “We do believe that it's politically charged…When you've done nothing wrong…and  you're completely innocent and there's not a shred of evidence against you, and you know that the work is completely above board and that the system is being used against you…Well, you're completely powerless.” Meanwhile, those responsible for the corruption they uncovered are escaping justice. “Not a single person - barring one - has been arrested….Those people are scot-free. And I've got no doubt that the university is once again overrun by the very syndicates that we put our lives on the line to dismantle.” Bradley Conradie - who used to serve as judge in the Labour Court for over 12 years - says: “We are ordinary people who were doing the right thing for six years and we never in our wildest dreams believed that we would ever spend a day of our lives in jail, let alone be pulled through a long case because it just couldn't happen to us in South Africa…let me tell you, if it can happen to us, it can happen to anyone.”

A Clare member of the Oireachtas Transport Committee claims IALPA's pilots are putting the jobs of everyone else at Aer Lingus at risk with their current form of industrial action. Both the airline and the pilots union will come before the Labour Court tonight in a bid to bring the pay dispute to an end. Last Summer, 76% of all visitors to Clare arrived from overseas and so far Aer Lingus has cancelled nearly 400 flights due to the pilots work-to-rule. IALPA is warning that a failure to resolve the issue could see an escalation in industrial action. Clare Fianna Fáil Senator Timmy Dooley has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that if a compromise isn't reached soon, the future of the airline and many businesses will be in jeopardy.

Aer Lingus management and the Irish Airline Pilots Association (IALPA) will attend the Labour Court this afternoon in a bid to resolve their ongoing pay dispute. We get the latest from Eoghan Corry Editor of Air and Travel Magazine.

Aer Lingus has expressed disappointment after the Labour Court said that it will not be intervening in the ongoing pay dispute with pilots at this time. Captain Mark Tighe, President of the Irish Airline Pilots Association spoke to Ciara this morning on the show.

Clare Dunne, Chief Executive of the Irish Travel Agents Association, has the latest on passenger disruption as Aer Lingus and IALPA accept a Labour Court invite to attend separate meetings aimed at solving the ongoing pilot pay dispute.

A Clare Hotelier is warning the IALPA Pilot's strike will have a detrimental impact on this county's tourism industry. It comes as Aer Lingus has already cancelled 220 flights due to the industrial action planned by the pilot's union. Of the flights that have been cancelled so far, two of them are services from London-Heathrow that were due to arrive in Shannon Airport on Saturday. According to a Clare hotelier though, the real danger for the local economy, the real danger lies in the cancellation of transatlantic flights. Research from Fáilte Ireland shows that 73% of all visitors to the Banner county last Summer, travelled from overseas and so far Aer Lingus has also been forced to cancel five inbound transatlantic fights to Dublin from New York JFK. Both sides in the dispute are attending separate meetings of the Labour court this afternoon in a last ditch effort to avoid industrial action, which is due to get underway at midnight with a work-to rule, before an 8-hour stoppage on Saturday. Co-Owner of the Shannon Springs Hotel and Clare Irish Hoteliers Federation Rep Dermot Kelly says if a compromise is not reached, the fallout will be devastating for local business. The dispute centres on the IALPA pilot's demands for a 24.8% pay increase - members claim they need a pay rise to meet inflation. Speaking on the way into the Labour Court today, Aer Lingus CEO Lynne Emmbleton says the dispute is already causing major disruption for passengers. IALPA President, Captain Mark Tighe, insists the pilots will remain firm in their stance.

The Labour Court has told Aer Lingus and the Irish Airline Pilots Association (IALPA) that it will not be intervening in their pay dispute now, but will review the matter in July. To discuss this Martin Kenny TD, Sinn Fein spokesperson on Communications and Transport.

Aer Lingus and the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (IALPA) have been invited by the Labour Court to attend separate meetings today and both sides have accepted. Speaking to Ciara this morning was Michael Doherty, Professor in Employment Law at Maynooth University.

Aer Lingus and IALPA agree to labour court talks but what does this mean for passengers? We get an update from Mark Tighe the IALPA President.

A Clare Travel Counsellor expects Aer Lingus and IALPA will reach a compromise at the eleventh hour. It comes as the pilot's union has again voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action. Aer Lingus is currently operating four services to and from Shannon, namely flights to London Heathrow, New York JFK, Boston - Logan and Paris Charles De Gaulle. Yesterday , pilot's union IALPA voted for industrial action for a second time after Aer Lingus dismissed the results of a first e-ballot. But the paper ballot was equally clearcut, with 99% of pilots voting in favour. The union is required to give just seven days notice to the airline ahead of any planned strike action, which means flights could be cancelled as early as next week. Aer Lingus Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Donal Moriarty fears this would cause significant disruption for passengers. A Clare Travel Counsellor believes the pilots hold the upper hand at the negotiating table and it's highly likely a compromise will be reached at the eleventh hour. The Labour Court had recommended a pay increase of 9.25% for the pilots, but IALPA is seeking wage hikes of 23.8%. Ennis Travel Counsellor Gearóid Mannion is urging customers to ensure their holiday insurance covers strike action and to check bookings, as if they're discommoded they might be offered to change their flight for free. He says ultimately Aer Lingus and IALPA will have to find a middle ground. The Tánaiste, meanwhile, is urging both sides in the Aer Lingus dispute to sort it out. Micheál Martin says the Labour Relations Commission may have to get involved.

Members of the Irish Airline Pilots' Association at Aer Lingus have voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action up to and including a strike.Last week, IALPA members voted overwhelmingly to reject a Labour Court recommendation that pilots should receive pay increases totalling just over 9% as part of an interim settlement. The figure was well below the 23.8% that the pilots had been seeking.How would a strike affect you? Andrea is joined by Angela Walsh, President of the Irish Travel Agents Association and CEO of FROSCH, Ciara Foley, Managing Director of Platinum Travel and listeners to discuss.
