Transport unions warn protest will be first of many

Unions have warned the Government that today's four-hour stoppage by bus and rail workers will the first of many protests unless Transport Minister Seamus Brennan reconsiders his plans to break up CIE.

The stoppage, organised by the National Bus and Railworkers' Union and supported by SIPTU, is due to take place from 11am to 3pm and will affect Dublin Bus, Bus Eireann and Iarnrod Eireann services.
