Members of the RMT union have voted overwhelmingly for industrial
action on London Underground in a row over jobs and safety.
The union said 76% of its members voted for strike action.
"We will now use this mandate for action to build up a campaign of
industrial, political and public pressure," said RMT general secretary
Bob Crow.
The union said a date for the strike had not been agreed.
It said it would begin an extensive consultation with members.
RMT said it would also liaise with sister transport union TSSA - which
will announce its own ballot result next week - on the next course of
action.
Both unions believe that 800 posts are under threat and more than 140
ticket offices will close, which they say threatens safety.
I wonder if the "extensive consultation" will result in a strike over
the August Bank holiday weekend.
