DRIVERS' PROTEST * Ireland - Dublin Bus drivers protest outside Green head office
Dublin,Ireland -The Irish Times, by CHARLIE TAYLOR -February 2, 2009: -- Up to 30 drivers from the Busworkers’ Action Group, which includes members of both Siptu and the NBRU, staged a two-hour protest outside the party's office in Suffolk Street in Dublin today to highlight the "silence" of Green Party ministers on the planned cuts... Last month Dublin Bus announced it was to make 290 staff redundant and reduce its fleet by 120 buses. The company said it will lose €31 million this year, following a €10 million loss in 2008, unless it makes the cuts... Today's protest did not disrupt bus services as participating drivers were either on breaks or not rostered to work...
