Bus firms considers legal action against driver unions
The companies filed a plenary summons with the High Court against Siptu and the National Bus and Rail Union last week for the millions of euro in lost revenue from the two-day strike at the start of the month. As well as missing out on passenger fares, the companies face fines from the National Transport Authority for failing to provide services.
Last night, in a joint statement, the companies said: “Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus are reviewing our position in relation to the joint legal action for recovery of financial damages, which resulted from the recent two-day strike. No decision is imminent, and this will be considered over the coming weeks.”
