Luas strike to go ahead next month after talks collapse

Talks to avert next month’s Luas strike have ended without a resolution at the Workplace Relations Commission.

Unions and management spent three hours locked in negotiations trying to find an end to the pay row at the company.

Both sides expressed disappointment at the failure to reach agreement following discussions at the Workplace Relations Commission between union representatives and the management of Transdev, the Luas light rail network operator.
