Dublin faces traffic chaos from bus strike with warning of three 48-hour work stoppages

Dublin could face traffic chaos after two trade unions sounded a warning over three 48-hour work stoppages on the network next month.

The National Bus and Rail Union (NBRU) issued a letter yesterday to the HR manager at Dublin Bus stating that “in the absence of an improved offer on pay that the NBRU will initiate a series of work stoppages through the month of September”.

Describing the action as “regrettable”, NBRU general secretary Dermot O’Leary told Dublin Bus that it was “on notice” regarding the strike action, scheduled for September 8 and 9, September 15 and 16, and September 23 and 24.
