  • Strike action goes ahead on tube tomorrow as planned as RMT accuses Mayor of trying to blame workers for TFL financial crisis.

RMT accused Mayor Sadiq Khan of playing to the gallery, instead of pressuring ministers to deliver a long-term funding deal for TfL, ahead of another 24-hour stoppage on the tube network tomorrow which goes ahead as planned.

Speaking to the media yesterday (Tuesday), Mayor Khan told striking workers to "wake up and smell the coffee" and that industrial action would not make securing a deal with the government any easier.

  • Picketers may wish to use the attached leaflet to explain to passengers why we are striking.

WHY WE ARE STRIKING

Tube workers have worked throughout the pandemic to keep an essential service running. Our roles don’t allow us to work from home.

Now our employer wants to make us pay for a financial crisis we didn’t create with cuts to jobs and conditions, including pensions.
