10,000 London Underground workers will walk out next week
Six lines were affected by a tube strike in November
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "Our members will be taking strike action next week because a financial crisis at London Underground Limited has been deliberately engineered by the government to drive a cuts' agenda which would savage jobs, services, safety and threaten their working conditions and pensions.He added: "Politicians need to wake up to the fact that transport staff will not pay the price for this cynically engineered crisis.
"These are the very same transport staff praised as heroes for carrying London through Covid for nearly two years, often at serious personal risk, who now have no option but to strike to defend their livelihoods."Fresh strikes to hit London's Night TubeHe said: "TfL haven't proposed any changes to pensions or terms and conditions, and nobody has or will lose their jobs because of the proposals we have set out.
"I hope the RMT will get around the table with us, continue talks and call off this disruptive action, which will cause huge frustration for our customers and further financial damage to TfL and London's economy when we should be working together to rebuild following the pandemic."during the last day-time strike which took place across six lines in November.
Meanwhile, the ongoing Night Tube strikes continue on the Central and Victoria lines every Friday and Saturday night until 19 June as part of a separate dispute.
