Staff at Edinburgh Trams could be set to strike just ahead of the Festival Fringe this summer, sparking potential 'chaos' amongst tourists and locals in the city.
Much like the recent Network Rail strikes, which were the biggest in the UK in four decades, staff at Edinburgh Trams are also bargaining for a higher pay offer than what is currently on the table. Members of the Unite union are being balloted for potential action after rejecting the latest pay offer.
The offer, although improved, was declared as "derisory" by union officials and according to reports online, it would have includes a one-off payment plus a four per cent increase in 2023, that's according to British Trams Online.
