NBRU to strike if Dublin bus part-privatised

The National Bus and Railworkers Union has voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action over Transport Minister Seamus Brennan's plans to privatise 25% of Dublin Bus.

The union said 94% of its 3,600 members voted in favour of industrial action if Mr Brennan pressed ahead with his plan to sell off a quarter of Dublin Bus routes as part of the reform of CIE.
