Bus Eireann’s all-out indefinite strike planned to begin next Monday has been deferred.
Bus Eireann staff were due to go on strike on Monday but they deferred their strike to allow for talks to take place at the Workplace Relations Commission on Monday.
SIPTU said they’d accepted an invitation to talks on Monday which are aimed at ending the ongoing dispute.
SIPTU Sector Organiser, Willie Noone, said to RTE: “It has always been apparent that the expertise of the WRC will be required to deal with the serious and complex issues in this dispute.
“In deference to a request by the WRC, the scheduled strike action by SIPTU members in Bus Éireann, which was due to commence on Monday, has been suspended.
“SIPTU representatives will continue to play their part in trying to avert a national public transport dispute but we rely on the management of Bus Éireann making genuine efforts to reach a resolution,” said Mr Noone.
