Unions say they’re considering their next move after all the government’s hundred bus drivers were given their notice yesterday.
The Department of Community, Culture and Leisure made the move after failing to reach agreement over paid lunch breaks it wants to take off drivers to save £300,000 a year.
The drivers will have to reapply for their jobs under new terms and conditions and the department says it has contingency plans to keep services running.
Billy Chesnut of Unite says a ballot will be held shortly to decide how members want to respond:
MiCard users who can't use bank accounts to receive new cards
Mountain closure further extended
Chief minister proposes issuing new MiCards to those who can't open bank accounts
Timeline for new CRHS 'a bit tight', says education minister
More details about MiCard replacement could be revealed today
