NBRU say strike is against Minister, not public

The National Bus and Railworkers Union is adamant tomorrow's planned industrial action is aimed at the Transport Minister Seamus Brennan and not the travelling public.

The group says it is committed to maintaining rush hour services and insists the drastic action is being taken with regret.

However, the Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association is branding the union's tactics as malicious, mistaken and selfish.

Chief Executive Mark Fielding said he does not believe the NRBU when it says it is concerned about the commuter.
