Metrolink workers are set to go on strike next week... Strike is a 24 hour strike planned for next Wednesday. We're talking about drivers, electricians, and customer services stafr who are members of the Unite union. The union says the action could bring the tram network to a halt but Transport for Greater Manchester says it will try to minimise the impact of the strike on passengers. It's all to do with a dispute about pay ... Those who are going on strike have refused a proposed 2 year pay deal totalling 3 and half per cent. Phil Trow spoke to both side of the disagreement. CHRIS COLEMAN is Managing Director of Metrolink but first you'll hear John Boughton, the Regional Industrial Organiser for the Unite Union and has responsibility for Metrolink.
