TfGM workers strike Nov. 5 & 12 over pay, citing inflation; Arriva workers vote on strikes over low pay.
Workers at Transport for Greater Manchester are set to strike on November 5 and 12 over a rejected 3.2% pay offer, which union Unite says is a real-terms pay cut due to 4.6% inflation.
The action, involving over 200 staff in roles like ticketing and passenger assistance, follows earlier strikes in October and includes disputes over standby pay and a four-day week.
Meanwhile, around 300 Arriva workers in Leicestershire are voting on potential strike action over a pay offer seen as insufficient amid rising living costs, with the ballot closing November 19.
Both disputes could cause major disruptions to bus and tram services in their regions.
