TRANSPORT for Greater Manchester workers called off strikes after getting pay rises of between 6.4 and 11.1 per cent, Unite said today.

More than 200 workers, who undertake vital roles including ticketing, passenger assistance and information services for the bus network, voted to accept the deal.

The deal includes a pay uplift of at least 3.2 per cent backdated to April 2025 for all staff, plus a non-consolidated payment of £1,000.

Workers on lower bands will see pay rise to at least £15.10 an hour, resulting in wages increases of between 6.4 and 11.1 per cent.  

Pay for all staff will increase again from April 2026 by least 3 per cent.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “A huge well done to Unite’s members at TfGM. They know that collective action works and by standing together and taking strike action they achieved this excellent pay deal.”

The workers began striking in October and took 18 days of industrial action in total.
