The Ticket Collector

RMT/TSSA London Underground Strike Dates

March 28, 2008 on 12:33 pm | In RMT, Strike, TSSA, tube |

The RMT and TSSA unions have announced a 72 hour strike from 6.30pm Sunday 6 April, until 6.30pm Wednesday 9 April 2008 after voting by five to one and four to one respectively for action.

Widespread tube chaos is expected and many lines will be closed due to no staff.

Both unions have told LUL that its plans for ticket-office closures, de-staffing, lone working, introduction of ‘mobile supervisors’, use of agency and security staff and other disputed policies amount to an unacceptable attack on safety standards and the casualisation of safety-critical work.

  1. Brilliant. Just brilliant. I never travel at weekends but due to my beloved Barnsley FC’s imminent visit to Wembley for the FA Cup Semi’s, I’ll be making an exception this weekend. Now all I have to do is keep my fingers crossed that they manage to reach a settlement before Sunday evening or I’ll be driving.
