Bus Éireann talks resume on 16th day of strikes

As the public spends a 16th day without Bus Éireann services, management and unions will once more gather at the Workplace Relations Commission, this morning, hoping to resolve it.

A 27-hour session at the WRC ended with an adjournment yesterday morning. Dermot O’Leary, general secretary of the National Bus and Rail union, tweeted: “WRC taking stock overnight. It’s been a long 27 hours. All parties committed to reaching solution”’.

The sides have been in the WRC since Wednesday, but the 1,900 staff, on strike for more than two weeks, have refused to come off their pickets while the talks are held.
