What is being said about the strike?
Announcing the strike action last month, RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said subway workers were “not going to put up with senior management and commissioners raking in money while being given modest offers that are below inflation.” said.
“TfL’s refusal to restore staff travel facilities and create a two-tier workforce is also unacceptable,” he added.
“Our members have made clear they are ready to take action and we urge TfL to improve its proposals to avoid chaos in the capital.”
TfL chief operating officer Glyn Barton said: “We are disappointed that RMTs are planning to strike in response to our offer of a 5% pay rise.”
“Through productive discussions with trade unions, we have made it clear that this offer is the maximum amount we can tolerate while ensuring safe, secure and sustainable operations.
“We encourage the RMT to work with us to avoid disruption for Londoners. We would advise anyone traveling during the strike period to check before traveling.”
