GMB Trade Union - ‘Groundbreaking’ Police support for Nottingham tram.

Tram workers should not be expected to face harassment on the job, says GMB.

GMB Union, representing Tram Drivers, ticketing and office staff, have today welcomed news that additional Police resources will be made available to support the Nottinghamshire tram network.

The comments come as Nottinghamshire’s Police & Crime Commissioner, Gary Godden, announced the SafetyNet initiative, which will see additional Police resources based at the Tram's Wilkinson Street Depot.

Colin Whyatt, GMB Regional Organiser said:

“No one should be expected to face anti-social behaviour and harassment at work.

“This is hugely welcome decision from Nottinghamshire’s Police & Crime Commissioner and will make Nottinghamshire’s tram network safer for staff and passengers alike.”
