The BBC have wrong headline https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-64945474

It's not until the third paragraph that it's clear.

The mayor as woken up and made a comment on his socials about the strike been suspended.    

If our mayor really cared he should help facilitate talks as a businessman/politician to help resolve the issue.  Come election day he might be shown the door.    He needs to work for his votes and helping get strike resolved might buy him seats, there again the tram farce might be against him.

Do you think the drivers/maintenance will accept or reject the deal

Depends upon what conditions are attached to the offer and how militant the staff feel.

I suspect it could get rejected, it seems like the offer has just been re-packaged I.e. higher increase in year 1 etc

From what I've just heard the majority of Walsall drivers are rejecting it. It's not what they asked for so National Express need to change the offer else they will be striking come Monday.

One driver I spoke to yesterday in Wolverhampton said it wasn't just the pay but the management going back on terms and conditions agreed previously.

Haven't heard any mention at work in the Coventry garage but who knows. You'll find out Friday when the ballot is announced

The new offer is a 3 year deal which is a NO NO given recent events, Members of UNITE want  a 1 year deal back dated to pay anniversary jan 1st, The overtime rate currently in operation which started late 2021 when driver shortage started to bite, this time and quarter can be withdrawn at any time.
The new TERMS AND CONDITIONS are a joke to us older drivers.
