Bus services in Cork could face disruption as row over suspended union rep continues

NBRU’s General Secretary, Dermot O’Leary, said they are not in favour of an all-out strike.

Bus services in Cork could face disruption before Christmas in a row over the suspension of a union rep who spoke out after a female bus driver was threatened with rape.

The National Bus and Rail Workers’ Union (NBRU) plans to ballot its 340 members at Bus Éireann’s Capwell Bus Depot in Cork for industrial action on Thursday in response to Bus Eireann management’s decision to sanction one of its local representatives.
