The Bus Eireann strike planned for Monday has been called off. Both SIPTU and the NBRU have issued statements to say that they’ve accepted an invitation to continue talks issued by the Workplace Relations Commission.
The talks are now said to talk place on Monday 6th of March
Siptu Sector Organiser Willie Noone said:
“It has always been apparent that the expertise of the WRC will be required to deal with the serious and complex issues in this dispute. In deference to a request by the WRC the scheduled strike action by SIPTU members in Bus Éireann, which was due to commence on Monday, has been suspended.
“Siptu representatives will continue to play their part in trying to avert a national public transport dispute but we rely on the management of Bus Éireann making genuine efforts to reach a resolution.”
