8th Apr 2022

EA Statement

The Education Authority (EA) has been notified by Translink that their bus drivers who are members of the
Unite and GMB trade unions have voted to take industrial action in relation to a pay offer from Translink.
Translink are continuing to engage with Trade Unions to avert the action, however, if it does proceed it
would result in all Translink bus services being withdrawn from Monday 25th April to Sunday 1st May and
Friday 6th May (one day).


Pupils who use any Translink bus service for any element of their journey are likely to be impacted and
parents should make other transport arrangements for these dates.

Parents should follow Translink’s social media channels and website over the coming weeks and start to
plan now for their alternative transport arrangements.


Translink train services will not be affected by the industrial action.


We also encourage parents to check the EA website for regular updates and details of any planned
disruption at: www.eani.org.uk/industrialactionupdates and also EA social media channels.
