Humungoose week of disruption averted as industrial action called off.
GMB Union has today announced that workers on Nottingham’s tram network have voted to end ongoing strike action.
The news comes after an eleventh-hour agreement was reached between tram management and union negotiators.
Workers voted to accept the updated offer from management, which will see workers receive an 8.5 per cent pay uplift over the next two years.
Strike action will come to an end and tram services resume from 05:00 Saturday 28 September.
Colin Whyatt, GMB Organiser, said:
“We may have ruffled a few feathers in this dispute, but tram workers do vital work keeping families, businesses and communities moving
"It’s right that their pay lets them pay the bills and take care of their families.
“Our light rail is Nottingham’s jewel in the crown and we’re delighted that this year those enjoying the Goose Fair can do so by tram”.
