Union To Ballot After Labour Court Recommends 8.25% Pay Rise For Dublin Bus Drivers
SIPTU union members at Dublin Bus are expected to hold a ballot over a Labour Court recommendation to accept or reject a pay offer before the end of next week.
The Labour Court recommended that Dublin Bus drivers receive an 8.25% pay rise over the next three years.
SIPTU Organiser, John Murphy, said: "SIPTU members across all grades within Dublin Bus will be meeting over the coming days to discuss this recommendation in detail. The exact schedule for a ballot on its acceptance or rejection will then be decided. The ballot process can be expected to conclude by the end of next week.
"However, it is clear that these proposals fall well short of the pay claim made by our members. Due to this the rejection of the proposal is likely. This will mean that if there is not an improved offer made by the employer there is a strong possibility of industrial action by our members in Dublin Bus in the near future."
