Both unions are able to call additional action within the 6-month mandate from their industrial action ballots.
It is lawful for any TfGM employee to take part in industrial action called by either union. However, only union members are eligible for strike-pay for strikes their union has called, and only union members can vote whether or not to accept offers. If you aren’t yet a member, please join.
TfGM negotiate with UNISON and Unite in the Passenger Transport Forum (PTF) collective bargaining agreement, along with West Yorkshire and West Midlands Combined Authorities. Further discussions are scheduled and there is still time for the employers to make an acceptable offer and for members to be balloted on it before any industrial action begins.
