Do you think strikes by drivers are an appropriate response to proposed cutbacks at Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus? Support the bus drivers. |

Jump To Comment: 2 1Why should the public support the bus drivers! SIPTU announced that they are going to go on an all out strike on the 1st March!
Holding the whole country to ransom! To prop up a black hole of a transport company!
These workers are on probation at the moment, like anyone else who joins any company their probation period is discretionary and if the employer decide not to continue employment this is perfectly valid!
This is the risk the employee takes!
These guys have been trained by Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann, they are far more employable now than ever! It is a tough situation but if both Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann are not profitable, why should the tax payer continue to subsidise them!
Lets get real here! The drivers are striking because they know they have the country over a barrel!
LET THEM STRIKE! I hope the government holds out, this is not necessary and not helpful!
We as a country cannot afford a costly and inefficient transport system!
I just saw that... VOTE YES, SUPPORT THE WORKERS
