LONDON - Commuters in London will face a week of disruption later this month as rail workers strike on the underground in the latest walkout during a year of industrial action.
The union pointed at 600 jobs that are scheduled to be axed and tube staff currently standing to be poorer in retirement if current TfL proposals are actioned. Different grades and sections of the tube will be affected by the protest, the union said. The announced action comes during a week of industrial action from Aslef, another of the country’s large rail unions. Its current ban runs until Friday, with a further overtime ban planned for July 17-22.
