Bus strike set to continue

THE Dublin bus strike affecting 60,000 passengers in the capital will rumble on for at least another 24 hours until after the sides meet with the Labour Court once more.

The court contacted the sides yesterday and asked to meet with them again tomorrow. The five-day-old dispute has seen one worker suspended and 36 routes either cancelled or affected by a limited service.

Mick Faherty of the National Bus and Rail Workers’ Union said the workers would maintain their action until then, though there would be no escalation of the action.
