The plan included temporary pay cuts for 28 months ranging from 1.7% to 6.1%. The company had warned workers that if intensive negotiations failed to secure agreement on cost reductions, it would unilaterally implement the cuts set out in the recommendation. However, the recommendation was rejected by SIPTU and the National Bus and Rail Union. Other unions at the company, the TSSA, the TEEU and Unite, accepted the Labour Court recommendation, but the overall ballot result was 51% against, 49% in favour. The company thereafter imposed pay-cuts to the workforce. The trade unions reacted and stated that their members will stop work on four of five planned dates, with 'work to rule' on one date. Officials at the Labour Relations Commission asked the unions to call off the strike and to engage in formal talks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.independent.ie\u002Firish-news\u002Fnews\u002Flrc-talks-aim-to-halt-second-wave-of-rail-strike-action-30548412.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.independent.ie\u002Firish-news\u002Fnews\u002Flrc-talks-aim-to-halt-second-wave ... \u003C\u002Fa>   \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rte.ie\u002Fnews\u002F2014\u002F0711\u002F630118-irish-rail\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.rte.ie\u002Fnews\u002F2014\u002F0711 ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.independent.ie\u002Firish-news\u002Fnews\u002Firish-rail-workers-confirm-strike-next-month-30459009.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.independent.ie\u002Firish-news\u002Fnews\u002Firish-rail-workers-confirm-strike ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
