Labour Court recommends one-month trial of Dublin Bus Sector 7 network changes

In 1993, the Labour Court recommended a one-month trial of Dublin Bus’s revised Sector 7 network, with mini-buses on Route 22 excluded. The National Bus and Rail Union and Services Industrial Professional Technical Union had raised concerns about the changes’ long-term effects on staffing and conditions. The Court said negotiations had been overshadowed by the Route 22 issue and proposed joint monitoring as the changes were implemented. The parties were to negotiate detailed points during the month; unresolved issues could return to the Court for a further hearing and recommendation. The Court did not make recommendations on the unions’ monetary claims.
