Meeting to discuss ruling on Bus Éireann dispute
SIPTU representatives in Bus Éireann are meeting today (Thursday, 14th February) to discuss the union’s response to a Labour Court ruling on a dispute at the company concerning management attempts to unilaterally enforce cuts in workers' terms and conditions of employment.

SIPTU Organiser, Willie Noone, said: “Our members have always been willing to change working conditions and practices within reason but are not prepared to have changes unilaterally imposed on them. Bus Éireann workers are not prepared to continue to provide a public transport system while management is eroding every aspect of their conditions of employment, including their wages.”

SIPTU representatives in Bus Éireann will fully consider the Labour Court ruling prior to making any public response.

The company has agreed to defer introducing cuts in employees' terms and conditions until the Labour Court process is concluded.  SIPTU members in Bus Éireann voted on Wednesday, 9th January, to commence strike if management attempted to unilaterally impose reductions in workers terms and conditions.
