SIPTU & Bus Eireann Talks Will Not Continue Until Removal Of Conditions

SIPTU says it will not re-enter talks with Bus Éireann until all pre-conditions are removed.
The Transport Minister Shane Ross has asked management at the company and trade unions to engage in talks "with a blank sheet of paper" - but has insisted he can't and won't directly intervene.
The union says conditions laid down to staff in a letter from the company are not fair and don't form a good basis for further discussions.
SIPTU Sector Organiser Willie Noone says Minister Ross isn't clear on the matters involved in the dispute:
