CIE unions set for more strikes over break-up

CIE UNIONS are to seek assurances from the Department of Transport that their concerns over the break-up of the company will be taken seriously by the Government.

Unions representing all three CIE companies are cautiously welcoming an invitation to meet with the Department of Transport tomorrow but warned that the next phase of their strike action set for next week will go ahead.

The National Bus and Railworkers Union (NBRU) said tomorrow’s meeting, set up following a conciliatory letter from the Department of Transport, was “a sign of a light at the end of the tunnel.”
