Dublin Bus Workers Take Vital Vote
Workers for Dublin Bus are taking a vital vote today on recommendations from the Labour Court.
The recommendations include increasing overtime work and scrapping 120 buses from Dublin's roads.
Dublin Bus is seeking to remove the buses from the fleet and shed 290 jobs in an effort to avoid potential losses of more than €30m this year.
Other aspects of the recommendations include having rest days available on Sundays, no compulsory redundancies and 80 voluntary redundancies made available for senior drivers.
In a letter to staff, the company's Human Resources Manager Gerry Maguire wrote: "There is no other forum to discuss these issues and, therefore, it is vitally important for your future and the future of the company that the recommendations are accepted."
Mr Maguire added: "The Labour Court recommendation to ensure the future of the company involves, among other issues, no change to shift pay arrangements, no compulsory redundancy, and an independent review group to monitor all aspects of the implementation of the working time directive and its impact on staff."
