The London Underground network is set to grind to a halt next month after a walk-out was announced.
Travel on the Tube will be affected next month during major strikes Aslef the union revealed its members will stage a series of strikes next month in a dispute over pay. This includes Tube drivers, instructors, management grade and some engineers. They are expected to walk out in the first few weeks of November. Staff across the Tube services voted in favour of the strikes However, the union said it does not ‘want to go on strike’ after the announcement.
Why is the strike happening? It comes after a row over pay. The union – which has more than 21,000 members – said a pay offer of 3.8% plus a variable lump sum means Underground drivers will stay on a lower salary than other drivers working across Transport for London while working longer hours. Aslef claimed it has been ‘forced into this position because LU management won’t sit down properly and negotiate with us.
