TUC on London Underground strikes

Commenting on the strike on the London Underground by ASLEF, RMT, TSSA and Unite members starting today (Wednesday), TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

“Trade unions clearly support extending the London Underground and recognise how important the service is to the economy and to the travelling public.

“However, it is vital that London Underground recognises that any significant change to working hours should be the subject of proper negotiation and agreement. Anyone who was told by their boss they would have to start working all through the night would expect that to be agreed and not imposed.”
