Dublin Bus To Announce Date Of Cost-Saving Plan Implementation

A date for the implementation of cost-saving measures at Dublin Bus is expected to announced later today.

The company had said that it would proceed with the cost-cutting plans as soon as they could after an average majority of union member drivers accept the proposals.

However, SIPTU drivers rejected the proposal and are still considering their next move.
