London Underground Strike Announced for Friday
Prepare for potential disruptions as customer service managers working for London Underground are set to strike this Friday, April 26. The strike, organized by the Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association (TSSA), comes after a similar walkout on April 10 that resulted in short-notice closures at individual stations across the network.
The TSSA is striking over concerns related to the terms and conditions of its members’ jobs. The union claims that London Underground has refused to negotiate, leading to the decision to take further strike action. The strike will last from 12:01am to 11:59pm on April 26, and will extend into April 27 for employees whose shifts begin before 11:59pm the previous night.
While the strike is unlikely to cause widespread disruption, passengers are advised to stay informed about potential station closures and delays. The TSSA has warned that London Underground’s refusal to negotiate may lead to last-minute station closures and understaffing issues.
The union remains firm in its stance that it will not accept threats to its members’ roles, locations, terms, and conditions. Sustained strike action will continue until London Underground is prepared to engage in good faith negotiations.
