Transport

London underground workers unveil new wave of strikes

London Underground staff will take part in a new wave of rolling strike action in the new year, the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) has announced.

Following the rejection of a 5% pay increase, workers will carry out various strike action between Friday, January 5 and Friday, January 12.

“The union wants to see full staff travel facilities for all tube workers restored and has criticised bosses for freezing pay bands,” RMT said in a statement.

“The latest pay offer [...] from London Underground is unacceptable when Transport (TfL) for London has created a bonus pot of £13 million for senior managers.”

Engineering and maintenance workers will walk out between January 5 and 6, alongside taking part in an overtime ban until January 12.

Control Centre staff will then strike from January 7 to 8, with all fleet workers joining them on the second day.

Further action will then take place among signal and service controllers on January 9 and 10, with all fleet staff again joining strikes on January 10.

RMT accused TfL of creating a two-tiered workforce through its latest pay offer, highlighting larger salary increases given to senior staff members this year.

"Our members have made it clear that they are prepared to take action and we urge TfL to improve their offer to avert disruption in the capital," union boss Mick Lynch said.
