Six Dublin Airport ground crew have lost their claims over being placed on layoff when the aviation industry went into a tailspin at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic

Alan English, Shay O'Hare, Tony O’Neill, Stephen Kavanagh, Phillip Kelly and Robert Keogh all lodged complaints under the Payment of Wages Act against Swissport Ireland Ltd.

Mr O’Loughlin argued that workers’ service had been a factor in selection for layoff in other Irish airports where Swissport operated, but had not been part considered during the layoffs at the Dublin Airport operation. "The matrix applied by the company was deficient and contained a huge number of errors that clearly led to prejudice concerning selection," he said.

"That is an argument with little merit nor does it reflect what is contractually the case," he wrote. There were no monies properly payable to any of the six workers which had been unlawfully deducted, Mr Dalton added.
