Luas dispute 'showed bus drivers how much more tram staff were paid'

Drivers at Dublin Bus are before the Labour Court today in a bid to get pay parity with Luas drivers.

The National Bus and Rail Workers Union (NBRU) and SIPTU are calling on the body to implement pay increases for the city's bus drivers.

They say the recent dispute at Transdev has brought to light the difference in the wages of Luas and bus drivers.

"Basically, the claim before the court is for parity with tram drivers, bearing in mind that tram drivers and bus drivers in the rest of Europe, in the main, are paid one and the same," said NBRU general secretary Dermot O'Leary.

"The backdrop here is that people is that people will be aware of the recent Luas dispute, which I suppose illustrated quite clearly for our people that the rates of pay applicable to tram was way beyond what bus drivers are being paid."
