Getting worse before it gets better: Dublin Bus may soon down tools also and join transport strike action




The already dire transport situation in Ireland is set to get even worse, as Dublin Bus may soon jump onto the strike bandwagon.

It is understood that SIPTU members at Dublin Bus have been balloted on whether or not to join Bus Eireann in their indefinite strike action. Ballot counting is underway, and results will become known on Thursday morning.

If the ballot results in industrial action, Dublin Bus drivers will need to give seven days’ notice before walking out of their job.

Should this scenario come to pass, the entire bus network would come to a standstill in Ireland.
