Bus Eireann Strike - Rail Disruption

ACustomer · 24-03-2017, 12:21

IE and BE share facilities or sites in Limerick, Galway and Sligo, so one might expect disruption in services to and from these. However in Cork, facilities are separate, so picketing must have been outrageously aggressive and provocative. The same should be true of Waterford: any sign of sanity there?

Even in Galway, Sligo and Limerick there should be no rail stoppage if there is no dispute with IE. "Not passing pickets" is Ireland's last taboo; it's not as if the rail workers were trying to do the bus workers' jobs. It's effectively a case of secondary picketing and should not be allowed.
