Further strike dates are scheduled for 30 and 31 October, with additional action planned throughout November and December.
The dispute involves tram drivers, ticketing staff, control staff, engineers, cleaners and office workers.

Passengers should not assume a normal timetable on either day.
Rail – more Nottingham–London services now operating
There has been a significant change to East Midlands Railway’s Intercity timetable.
From Monday 19 October, EMR increased its Intercity operation to 96% of the full planned timetable, following months of reduced services.
National Rail updated its disruption notice at 05:54 on Monday 19 October, marking the previous long-running incident as cleared.
However, National Rail confirms that an amended timetable remains in operation.
This means the previous notice about services operating at 92% capacity should no longer be carried forward.
Additional Nottingham–London trains have been reinstated, including the weekday 13:50 and 18:10 departures from Nottingham to London St Pancras.
Passengers should continue to check their individual journeys because the timetable is not yet fully restored.
Nottingham, Newark and Retford – early rail check
No major new unplanned incident affecting Nottingham station, the Robin Hood Line or East Coast Main Line services through Newark and Retford has been confirmed in the available early reports.
However, a complete live departure check could not be independently verified at 06:05.
The major engineering restrictions that affected Newark and Retford on Sunday 18 October were scheduled for that day only and should not be treated as continuing today without a new operator notice.
Looking ahead – Wednesday 21 October
A new overnight closure programme begins tomorrow on the A612 Trent Valley Road.
The works are scheduled between 20:00 and 06:00 each night from Wednesday 21 to Friday 23 October.
