Bus Eireann confirm cost cutting measures including overtime ban
Bus Eireann has confirmed it is planning an overtime ban at the troubled company - along with a range of other cost cutting measures.
Management have written to staff saying they will also implement a recruitment ban and end flexi-time arrangements for clerical staff.
The National Bus and Rail Union has called the proposals "ludicrous".
It's instructing members not to cooperate with any changes to work practices.
It wants a forum set up to discuss the crisis at the company, which could go bust within 18 months unless major cost savings are implemented.
