Dublin Bus management has agreed to amend its cost cutting plan following talks today.
SIPTU and the National Bus and Rail Union met again with the company this morning to clarify and resolve a number of outstanding issues.
The agreement ensures there will be no compulsory redundancies and all drivers will be guaranteed at least five days pay a week.
After intensive negotiations at the Labour Relations Commission a rationalisation plan was agreed, which avoids the mass sacking of 160 new, probationary drivers.
The unions will ballot their members on the proposals next week and information meetings are planned for 18 March.
In the meantime, there will be no industrial action by workers or moves to dismiss probationary drivers at the company.
