Could there be an end in sight?

The National Bus and Rail Union and Bus Éireann management have agreed to engage in talks at the Workplace Resolution Commission (WRC) on Wednesday with a view to resolving the Bus Éireann strike.

In a press release on Tuesday, the NBRU stated that Bus Éireann drivers would remain on the picket lines but that they will attend talks at 10.30am on Wednesday morning, where they will present their four-point plan as a solution to end the current strike by Bus Éireann workers.

The NBRU say that a complete review of the managerial structure will be one of the first items on their agenda, “inclusive of the salary levels associated with the roles of those who are leading the demand for our members to become more productive”.
