Bus dispute may never be resolved, warn unions

A resolution to the Bus Éireann dispute may never be found, unions have warned, after the company suggested a number of “out-of-bounds and repulsive” cost cutting measures.

Talks between unions and the company adjourned last night after Bus Éireann put forward proposals around shutting three loss-making routes.

However, unions accused the company of striking more uncertainty and fear into employees and the suggestion of cutting routes was dubbed “disgraceful”.
