Irish busworkers to join N30 strike

Ireland
Bus and train services in the North could be halted after drivers in Unite voted to join the public sector walkout at the end of the month. Three in four members of Unite submitted a ‘yes’ vote to join the national strike day, called in opposition to changes to public sector pensions.
But Translink, their employer, said it was too early to say what impact the walkout will have on its services. The workers will join their counterparts across the UK who have already voted in favour of the strike, including Greater Manchester Transport and Cardiff Buses.
