This goes to show the depth of feeling amongst Nottingham’s tram workers on this issue.
GMB members on Nottingham’s tram network have overwhelmingly backed strike action in defence of two terminally ill colleagues.
GMB Union have today announced that 94% of Nottingham’s Tram Workers have voted for strike action over threats from company management to cut the pay of two terminally ill workers.
Hundreds of tram workers have voted in outrage after the company announced it would slash the pay of two GMB members, Robert Currie, an RAF veteran, and popular local tram worker David Brown as they battle life-threatening conditions.
Colin Whyatt, GMB Organiser, said:
“This goes to show the depth of feeling amongst Nottingham’s tram workers on this issue.
“For Keolis to threaten to cut the pay of loyal workers facing a terminal illness in their life has been shocking and disappointing for so many GMB members.
“The company now need to act urgently to avoid tram chaos over the Christmas shopping period.”
