Andy Burnham urges unions to call off Metrolink strike next week - but they say it'll still go ahead
Andy Burnham has offered to meet with unions in a bid to break a 'stalemate' in talks over pay for tram drivers if they call off the Metrolink strike next week. But a union spokesperson has said the strikes are set to go ahead as planned.
"Let's get around that table and see if we can find a way forward. But in return, I do ask the trade union today to postpone those strikes next weekend." Mr Burnham said that the 5 pc pay rise which is currently on offer is 'not bad'. But Unite has described the offer - which, if accepted, would cover a 15-month period before pay is reviewed again - as a 'very significant real terms pay cut'.
