Transport Unions Re-Enter Talks With Translink
Northern Ireland's transport unions have agreed to re-enter discussions with Translink management, after the rejection of a pay offer.
GMB, SIPTU and Unite announced last week that a "decisive majority" of their members had voted to reject a 5% pay offer and one-off payment of £1,500.
Talks are expected to begin again this week to try and resolve the ongoing pay dispute around the 2023-24 fiscal year.
It is not yet clear if the unions are considering further strike action, after a three-day strike in February was called off following the previous pay offer.
The unions said that no further public comments would be made until the conclusion of talks.
