Dublin Bus Dispute Looms
A disagreement over working conditions may halt bus services to commuters next week.
Dublin Bus passengers could face disruption from Monday due to the dispute with drivers.
Dublin Bus wants drivers from Harristown depot to start, take breaks and terminate in the city centre rather than at the depot.
A company spokesperson said this will allow it to schedule frequent services on two new routes, however drivers want to return to the depot for all starts, breaks and finishes.
Both unions SIPTU and the NBRU are balloting members for industrial action with the result of these ballots due later this afternoon.
The Labour Court has backed the new rosters proposed by Dublin Bus, which would be operated by junior drivers.
Dublin Bus says it is introducing the disputed rosters from Monday morning, with an obvious confrontation looming as a result.
