SIPTU DART drivers to ballot for industrial action
SIPTU DART drivers are to ballot during February on industrial action, up to and including strike action, in a dispute arising from a management attempt to impose rosters for a ten-minute service without the agreement of staff.
SIPTU Organiser, Paul Cullen, said: “The company had stated that it was going to impose these rosters during January. It has now delayed their scheduled introduction and a ballot of workers on industrial action has similarly been postponed until February.
“Our members are deeply disappointed that the management of Irish Rail seems intent on provoking further conflict with workers. This is despite the Labour Court recently proposing a negotiation process which aims to create a forum were solutions can be found to productivity issues at the company.”
