Thu 02 Feb 2009All-out bus strike threat for March
ABOUT 450,000 bus passengers in Dublin face severe disruption to services from the beginning of next month following a decision by the trade union Siptu to launch a continuous all-out strike at Dublin Bus from March 1st in protest at the company’s cost-cutting plans.
Siptu yesterday said that it had no alternative course of action left open to it to protect the conditions of employment of its drivers in the company. Under the plan drawn up by Dublin Bus about 290 jobs will be lost, including those of 160 drivers.
