BREAKING: Metrolink staff announce June strike dates in two-day walkout
Parklife festival-goers are set to face transport headaches this year after the dates for the Metrolink strike were confirmed.
An overwhelming majority — 95 percent — of more than 600 unionised staff voted to strike, the body says. Currently, both the firm and the union are locked in a dispute over pay.Today’s confirmation of the strike dates means Parklife festival will be heavily impacted. The event, which is the country’s largest metropolitan festival, is held annually in Heaton Park, and usually puts special measures in place to get fans to and from the city centre via the tram.
"We will now engage with Unite to see if it will be possible to avert strike action. If strike action does go ahead, no Metrolink services will operate," said Rob Cox, HR Director at operator KeolisAmey Metrolink .
