Furthermore, it is noted that Aer Lingus's current collective agreements provide for flexibility and mobility throughout its workforce without unduly restricting other possible approaches. The company's stated position that having clear registered employment agreements, REAs, which safeguard the respective interests of employees and the company is mutually beneficial is noted, as is its commitment to extend and expand the scope of REAs, where appropriate, to include groups not covered by the current agreements. The commitment of Aer Lingus to engage in a process of consultation governed by agreed structures with its staff and their representatives should any restriction be required is noted, as is its current position that it does not foresee a likelihood of compulsory redundancies or non-direct employment.
