The Labour Court recommended that Bus Eireann and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union discuss separate grievance and dispute procedures for part-time school-bus drivers. The recommendation was signed on 20 February 2012. The union’s claim concerned route changes that reduced the earnings of three drivers. The Court said the short time available before the school year made prior communication difficult and the company’s existing procedures were unsuitable for the service. It recommended setting a timeframe for disputes and using the Joint Industrial Relations Forum where needed.
