Luas drivers have voted overwhelmingly to take industrial action in a row over pay and conditions.
99 per cent of SIPTU members at the Dublin based tram company gave their backing yesterday to strike and work to rule.
The precise form of industrial action has not yet been decided, but SIPTU said that stoppages were likely.
It is expected that these stoppages will take place in February.
Before Christmas, Luas staff voted overwhelmingly to reject a Labour Court recommendation for dealing with pay and other issues.
