The RMT Union has announced that London Underground workers have renewed their strike mandate, which means that more strike action could happen on the Tube network.
91.1% of staff voted yes in the ballot with a 53.1% turnout.
RMT says that Transport for London plans to cut 600 jobs in the future.
No strike dates have been announced yet but will be decided in the future.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “This is a fantastic result for our members and proves that the arguments RMT has been making is endorsed by tube workers.
“TfL and the Mayor of London need to seriously re-think their plans for hundreds of job cuts and trying to take hard earned pensions from workers who serve the people of London on a daily basis.
“We are acutely aware of the funding cuts being foisted on TfL by the Westminster government. However, Mayor Sadiq Khan needs to mount a serious campaign for the people of London, to get the capital city the funding it deserves for its public transport.
“He should not be trying to sacrifice our members pensions and jobs to fit within budget restraints laid down by Boris Johnson.”
