Unions And Management Urged To Avert Luas Strike
Unions and management involved in an ongoing Luas dispute have been urged to "re-engage" through the Labour Court in an effort of avoiding industrial action planned for Thursday and Friday.
Making the call, Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Paschal Donohoe, said: "Transdev, which is the private company that runs Luas, has begun notifying passengers that Luas services will not be running this Thursday and Friday, the 11th-12th February, and again the following week, the 18th-19th. If this action goes ahead as planned significant disruption will be caused to those who have come to depend on Luas to get to work and about their daily business.
"There have already been a number of attempts made to resolve this dispute through the Labour Court and the Workplace Relations Commission, which are the channels through which mediation and resolution are found. Strike action does not serve the company, the staff or service users well. I am asking unions and management to re-engage in discussions on the basis of reasonable negotiations so that strike action can be avoided and Luas can continue to serve commuters across our city in the weeks to come."
