Wild Cat strike at Irish Rail and Dublin Bus could be on the cards
The head of the National Bus and Rail Union says he may not be able to stop his members at Irish Rail and Dublin Bus from going on a 'wild cat' strike.
Bus Éireann workers are into day five of an all-out, indefinite strike.
SIPTU is to ballot its members in Irish Rail and Dublin Bus, following a threat yesterday by Bus Éireann that compulsory redundancies may be unavoidable.
