Nottingham tram workers could take strike action on every Saturday up until Christmas over the treatment of two terminally ill colleagues. The GMB Union is balloting hundreds of members on industrial action after it was announced the pair could be given pay cuts.
The union said workers are "balloting in outrage after the company announced it would slash the pay of Robert Currie, an RAF veteran, and popular local tram worker David Brown as they battle life-threatening conditions". In a statement, it added that "despite long and dedicated service to Nottingham Trams, both are now confronting the double threat of serious illness in their personal lives and massive loss of earnings"
Nottingham Express Transit (NET) said it provided levels of support exceeding those set out in the TUC's Dying to Work Charter.
