Luas trams will not run tomorrow, as drivers strike once again




luas2

Thursday morning’s commute in the capital is shaping up to be chaotic, as Luas trams will not move from their depots.

Drivers are staging another day of industrial action, in a long-running dispute over pay and conditions with no end in sight.

It was Transdev’s turn to walk away from the negotiating table this week, after drivers asked for a 26% pay rise. Three other non-driver grades accepted a pay deal of 13%.

Transdev also threatened to begin docking drivers’ pay if they continue engaging in industrial action.

Further stoppages are planned for 4 May, 13 May, 20 May, 26 May and 27 May.
