Dublin Bus Drivers Vote On Labour Court Proposals
Dublin bus drivers are expected to decide today whether or not they will accept proposals for a company cost savings plan.
The ballot began on Thursday and will conclude today. The result is expected to be announced this evening (16 August) following a count in Liberty Hall, Dublin.
The proposals were published following overnight talks last week between union representatives and the management of Dublin Bus.
SIPTU Organiser, John Murphy, said: "These proposals clear up a number of ambiguities concerning changes to work practices which had been evident in the previous Labour Court proposals.
"The company has also provided clear commitments as to when workers terms and conditions will revert to normal and assurances that it will seek no further cuts during the period of this proposed deal."
