Tram bosses say a fresh pay offer has been put to GMB members with a recommendation to accept
Tram strikes planned to take place over Goose Fair are expected to be called off less than 48 hours before they are due to start following an improved pay offer. Hundreds of workers for the NET tram network voted to strike over pay, and industrial action is planned to take place over the course of the event between September 29 and October 8.
Chris Wright, managing director of Nottingham Trams, said: “Following constructive talks this week, we have made further improvements to our pay offer. As a result, we are pleased that the GMB has put this to its members with a recommendation to accept the proposed agreement.“We hope that we can now move to a swift resolution of the dispute, avoiding any disruption for customers.
Another offer of eight to 10 percent was also turned down. It is not yet known what the new pay offer is.
