Bus strike over as workers agree to proposals

THE week-old strike at Dublin Bus, which had been affecting 60,000 commuters, is over following the acceptance by workers yesterday of a Labour Court peace formula.

Commuter chaos struck the capital last week when more than 100 drivers at a north Dublin garage staged a strike in protest at the planned roll-out of two new bus routes, the 4A from Ballymun to Stradbrook and the 128 from Clongriffin to Rathmines.

The two routes will remain on the timetable, but only drivers who have started work with the company since last January will be expected to work on them.
