London tram workers to strike for five days amid fury over £10,000 pay disparity
LONDON tram engineers will stage a five-day strike over being paid £10,000 less than workers doing similar jobs on the Tube, Unite confirmed today.
About 60 Croydon Tramlink engineers will walk out from March 24 to 28, following engineering work on Thameslink and Southeastern train routes over the Easter weekend.
The union said the pay disparity is causing Tramlink staffing shortages because workers leave as soon as a higher paid job becomes available.
