Bus services to be crippled in drivers’ three-day protest

BUS services across the country will be crippled for at least three days as drivers protest against cutbacks at Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus.

The executive of the National Bus and Rail Union (NBRU) is to hold strikes on Saturday, February 28, Monday, March 9, and Tuesday, March 10.

The decision to strike is based on Dublin Bus’ plans to reduce its workforce by 290 and its fleet by 120 buses and Bus Éireann plans for 322 redundancies and a fleet reduction of 150.
