Dublin Bus drivers vote against strike

SIPTU Dublin Bus drivers have today voted against taking strike action.

A ballot was taken as the company plans to introduce new cost cutting measures on November 17.

Workers from the National Bus and Rail Union had already accepted the cost-saving strategy.

Dublin Bus has welcomed this evening's development.

In a statement, the company says it looks forward to building on these advancements to ensure the firm returns to financial stability.

Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport Leo Varadkar and Minister of State for Public Transport Alan Kelly said this outcome is in the best interests of the company, all of its employees, and everyone who depends on its services.
