Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union members have called off Tube strikes this week after “signfiicant progress” was made in negotiations with London Underground executives.
RMT said it had managed to "save jobs, prevent detrimental changes to rosters and secure protection of earnings around grading changes".
"I congratulate all our members who were prepared to take strike action and our negotiations team for securing this victory in our tube dispute,” RMT general Secretary Mick Lynch.
Lynch added that negotiations over outstanding issues around pensions and working agreements are still ongoing.
Over 3,000 employees at London Underground stations planned to walk out this Wednesday and Friday over Transport for London’s plans for over 600 station staff cuts and detrimental working conditions
Nick Dent, TfL's director of customer operations, commented: "We are pleased that the RMT has withdrawn its planned industrial action this week and that the dispute on our change proposals in stations is now resolved.
"This is good news for London and we will continue to work closely with our trade unions as we evolve London Underground to ensure we can continue to support the capital in the most effective way."
London Mayor Sadiq Khan was also pleased with the outcome, stating: “It is welcome news for Londoners that the RMT have suspended their planned Tube strikes this week and that London’s commuters won’t face disruption.
“Negotiation is always the best way forward and this shows what we can achieve by working with trade unions.”
Trai strikes led by the drivers union Aslef will still go ahead on Wednesday, with lines up and down the country affected.
There will be no Southern, Thameslink, Great Northern, or Gatwick Express trains in the south, with services in the north and West Midlands also cancelled.
Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan said: “While we regret having to take this action – we don’t want to lose a day’s pay, or disrupt passengers, as they try to travel by train – the government, and the employers, have forced us into this position.”
The train strikes coincide with the annual Tory conference in Manchester this Wednesday when Prime Minister Rishi Sunak intends to address the crowd.
