More strikes threatened

TRANSPORT workers have threatened to embark on a new series of strikes in protest over Government plans to break up CIE.

The travel plans of thousands of commuters were disrupted yesterday as bus and rail services came to a halt due to a four-hour work stoppage by unions.

But National Bus and Rail Workers’ Union (NBRU) chief Liam Tobin warned that yesterday’s action would be just the start unless Transport Minister Seamus Brennan consulted unions over his plans.
