The RMT Union has announced that London Underground members will go on strike for a week later this month in a dispute over pensions, jobs and working conditions.

The week long strike will begin from the 23rd July until Friday 28th July 2023.

The union says that 600 jobs are scheduled to be axed along with pension changes meaning that staff will be poorer in retirement.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “This week of action will shut down the London Underground and show just how important the work of our members is.

“Plans by TfL to cut 600 jobs and attack our members pensions are simply unacceptable.

“We are aware that Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has had the TfL budget cut.

“However, he needs to align himself with our union and his London Underground staff in pushing back against the Tory government, exposing their damaging agenda to a key part of London transport infrastructure.”
