NBRU to decide today on joining strike

The union representing most bus drivers is meeting today to decide whether to back SIPTU's work stoppage in CIE next week.

Members of the National Bus and Rail Workers Union have not yet declared their hand in the dispute with the Government over reform of the State's transport companies.

They are also calling for fares to be lowered, or removed altogether, as a way of encouraging people to leave their cars at home.
