London Underground workers have decided to strike again as they near the conclusion of this week’s strike, which has delayed Tube service in the capital.
This week’s strikes have created considerable inconvenience throughout the capital city.
This week, about 10,000 London Underground employees refused to work, affecting all Tube lines.
According to the union, more than ninety percent of Rail, Maritime, and Transport union members who voted intend to withdraw their labor in the coming months.
Workers claim they are waging a campaign to save their pensions, enhance working conditions, and avoid job losses.
The next strike has not yet been scheduled.
Transport for London (TfL) has announced plans to eliminate 600 positions and alter the “generous” pension scheme, as characterized by London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
“This is a terrific victory for our members and demonstrates that Tube employees agree with RMT’s views,” said RMT general secretary Mick Lynch.
Mr. Lynch continued, “TfL and the Mayor of London must rethink their plans for hundreds of job cutbacks and attempts to remove pensions from workers who serve the people of London every day.” He should not attempt to sacrifice the pensions and jobs of our members to adhere to Boris Johnson’s budget constraints.
This week has witnessed widespread strike action on the nation’s trains including the London Underground.
It is expected to be followed by disruptions at major airports, notably London Heathrow after British Airways employees voted on Thursday to strike during the busy summer holiday season to reclaim their pre-pandemic earnings.
