Unions announce campaign against CIE break-up

Unions representing workers at CIE have agreed a campaign of industrial action to oppose the Government's plans to break up the company and privatise 25% of Dublin Bus routes.

SIPTU, the ATGWU and the National Bus and Railworkers Union have claimed that the plans would cost hundreds of millions of euro to implement and would lead to jobs losses and a deterioration in the service provided to consumers.
