NBRU Press Release on Ballot for Industrial Action
on
Radio Ban

NBRU will ballot members for Industrial Action if Dublin Bus move ahead with Disciplinary Action against Bus Drivers who defy Radio Ban

General Secretary Dermot O’Leary said:

“A number of our members have already been notified that they have been ‘booked’ or recorded as being entered into the disciplinary process as a result of their actions in opposing this hair-brained policy, our members and their representatives will not be cooperating on these disciplinary cases, any mandated industrial action would kick-in if Dublin Bus were to decide to apply sanctions on our members”
Mr O’Leary went on to say:

“Whilst it will be for the Dublin Bus Branch of our Union to ultimately decide on the type of industrial action which they would undertake should Dublin Bus up the ante, our members are determined that they will not be forced to stop buses and discommode a supportive travelling public as a result of this ludicrous ban on transistor radios”
