A NEW DEVELOPMENT in the current Luas industrial action has seen the planned 8 March strike cancelled.

A statement from Transdev released this evening said that an agreement has been reached on entering talks:

Transdev has a duty to the public and Luas customers to resolve this dispute.

Transdev welcomes the opportunity to work with SIPTU’s proposal for Workplace Relations Commission talks.

Transdev anticipate these talks will be difficult and long, given the scale of the pay claim before the company and the expectations that have been created.

Transdev however believe the WRC will create the framework for positive discussions and look forward to a resolution in the weeks to come.
