Rail workers face sack over picket

A THREAT to sack 13 line maintenance workers could cause a strike that would paralyse the national rail network.

Iarnród Éireann has informed the workers they will be dismissed if they don’t call off unofficial action that has held up a €105 million commuter rail project for the past two weeks.

If the 10 SIPTU members and three from the National Bus and Rail Union (NBRU) do not report for work today they will be dismissed by the company.
