London Underground workers announce six-day Tube strike
London Underground workers will strike for a week from July 23https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/london-tube-strikes-july-b2371035.html
London Tube workers will strike for six days in a row over pensions, job cuts and working conditions.
Underground workers will walk out from Sunday 23 July to Friday 28 July, the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) has announced. The union said there would be no strike on Monday, 24 July while workers in different grades will take action on each of the other days.
The strikes are part of a long-running dispute between the RMT and Transport for London (TfL).
The action is in response to planned cuts to around 600 London Underground jobs, which the union says will affect Tube stations and maintenance operations.
