TRANSPORT unions in Northern Ireland are set to go ahead with a 72-hour strike from February 27, after rejecting the latest “lowball offer” from Translink, unions said today.
Thousands of bus and rail members of GMB, Unite and Siptu will walk out after talks broke down with Translink on Thursday afternoon.
Translink offered 5 per cent which was reportedly immediately rejected by the unions as soon as it was put on the table despite the firm billing it a “final offer.”
