Unite: Croydon Tramlink strikes suspended after TfL agrees to meaningful talks

Strikes by Croydon Tramlink engineers have been suspended after Transport for London (TfL) agreed to engage in meaningful talks over pay disparities with Unite, the UK’s leading union.

Five days of strikes scheduled to begin this Sunday (March 24) have been suspended.

If the talks do not result in an offer that meets the engineers’ expectations, strike action will take place from 5 May to 9 May and 11 July to 15 July.

Unite regional officer Bruce Swann said: “As a sign of good faith, our members have agreed to suspend strike action after TfL said it would meaningfully negotiate with Unite over pay disparities. Strike action will occur during May and July, however, if a satisfactory outcome is not reached during the talks.”
