Tunnel strike threatens chaos

DUBLIN traffic could be plunged into chaos by a planned strike by staff at the Port Tunnel scheduled for the end of this month.

SIPTU served 14 days’ strike notice on Transroute Tunnel Operations. The notice comes into effect on July 23 and, if the strike goes ahead, it will close the tunnel.

The workers claim their pay and other terms of employment are not in line with the industry norm and they are demanding that it be rectified.
