No deal on Bus Eireann Dispute at talks break down
There's bad news for passengers this morning after talks to resolve the Bus Eireann dispute broke down without a deal.
The company says agreement was reached at the WRC on eliminating many work practice inefficiencies, but their offer aimed at addressing financial viability was rejected by the driver grade within the unions.
The NBRU insists unions were prepared to contribute upwards of 18 million euro towards the savings needed at the company - but alleges that other bodies who weren't party to the talks have been applying undue influence on the proceedings.
The two parties will meet at the Labour Court at 3pm this afternoon.
Speaking to RedFM News this Cork bus driver says the threats that the company will fold if they don't accept cost-cutting, amounts to scaremongering:
