NBRU will strike on Feb 28 with a further two day strike in March according to this evening's RTE Six One News.
Striking on a Saturday? So we expect another march on O'Connell street that nobody will care about?

Except it's the day of the Ireland England rugby match, so people might get a bit more annoyed than usual...
Ireland v England Croke Park Feb 28 17:30
Could be interesting if the fans join in a protest.
The complaining Taxi men/women will have a field day.
A champion of the people emerges with the age-old and appealing promise of "something for nothing" - to be financed through every-increasing taxes. Supply and demand are thrown out of gear - the overhead goes up; the effective use of human energy goes down; the standard of living is lowered because money cannot buy wealth that is not produced.
WEAVER, HENRY GRADY,
A strike is somewhat different to a march. During a strike, things shut down, buses stop moving and trains sit in stations (so not that much different to now!Originally Posted by David Cochrane
).
They may wish to inconvenience the transport arrangements of the minimum number of people by holding the strike on a Saturday. The six nations game between Ireland-England is, however, taking place on Sat. 28th, so a shutdown of bus, rail links will get a reasonable amount of publicity because of this.
This is the most hateful anguish of all among men, to understand much and to prevail in nothing.

I think February 28th is the date that Dublin Bus management make some drivers redundant.
The two day strike is the one that will really cause widespread hassle.
I imagine it will escalate from there if management show no sign of changing their minds.

Oh this is a genius move(!)
Attempt to grid lock the capital city when tens of thousands of people from all over the country need to to get to it.
This is not a way to get public support
I hope managment is warming up the printers for the P45s as we speak.
Liquidate labour, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, liquidate real estate.
useless feckers, don't they know theres an important match on that day, what are the odd's of them having a strike on one of the 6 or so days in the year i need to use public transport....... feckers
Enda Kenny on FF government: “We’re in this mess, not because Fianna Fáil policies have failed, but because they have succeeded.”
Have we become so bored as a nation that we believe strikes are organised as PR exercises?
If that's believed, be prepared to let your jaws go slack often in the near future.
