Dublin Bus dispute will lead to a general strike in public transport

IF YOU live in Cork, Limerick, or Galway and think the Dublin Bus strike doesn’t affect you; fear not, it will, writes Gerard Howlin. 

This strike began in LUAS and the pay award garnered there is being reversed into Dublin Bus. Irish Rail is already in-play in terms of industrial relations.

Bus Éireann will be next. Assuming it’s settled, which I do not, before industrial action spreads to the other CIÉ companies, all you will notice is more for less.
