Tube strike this week - Weds 8 and Thurs 9 July
Info from TfL:
https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/tube/tube-strike "If the strike goes ahead, there will be no Tube service from late afternoon on Wednesday 8 July and no Tube service at all on Thursday 9 July. All other public transport services and roads will be much busier than usual, so please check before you travel." --- Might actually happen. The turnout in the ASLEF strike ballot was high, as were the votes in favour of a strike - 98% yes on an 81% turnout. Not sure the RMT has stated what its strike ballot turnout was, but 91.8% voted to strike. The TSSA meanwhile had 76% in favour of a strike on a 44% turnout. The ASLEF turnout of course more than meets the government's proposed 50% turnout rule for a strike ballot. http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jun/18/london-biggest-tube-strike-10-years-night-shift-pay http://www.cityam.com/219122/rmt-workers-vote-strike-over-night-tube http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-33331660 --- Also from this FT article - "Last-ditch talks aim to head off London Tube strike": http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/1c794e50-23bc-11e5-bd83-71cb60e8f08c.html ---quote--- The 24-hour walkout on Wednesday evening would cause the most widespread disruption on the capital’s Tube network in more than a decade. Most strikes in recent years have largely involved station workers rather than Tube drivers. ---/quote--- Though think that must refer to strikes that actually happened, rather than those which were just threatened. There were also strikes by infrastructure workers too a few years back. |
