Workers on Nottingham’s tram network will stage 25 additional days of strike action between October and December in an ongoing pay dispute, GMB Union has announced.
The dispute involves drivers, ticketing staff, control staff, engineers, cleaners and office workers on the network.
The latest dates include Christmas Eve, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve.
GMB has announced strike action on the following dates:
| Month | Strike dates |
|---|---|
| October 2026 | 22, 23, 30 and 31 |
| November 2026 | 2, 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, 28 and 29 |
| December 2026 | 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 24, 26, 27 and 31 |
Colin Whyatt, GMB Organiser, said:
“Our members have been trying to resolve this dispute for almost a year.
“These workers have children and families of their own. Strike action is the last thing they want, especially this close to Christmas.
“But this is about their dignity at work, and a fair days pay for a fair days work.
“These strike dates will last through Nottinghamshire’s busiest Christmas shopping weeks.
“If tram bosses are serious about fixing the mess they’ve created, they’ll get around the table with a serious offer on pay”.
