Thanks for ‘significant’ progress made by the RMT Union and London Underground Limited, planned strike action for the 4th and 6th October has been called off.

The Union says that it has saved key jobs, and prevented changes to rostering as well as secured earnings around grading changes.

Wider negotiations remain in the dispute over pensions, jobs and working agreements.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “I congratulate all our members who were prepared to take strike action and our negotiations team for securing this victory in our tube dispute.

“Without the unity and industrial power of our members, there is no way we would have been able to make the progress we have.

“We still remain in dispute over outstanding issues around pensions and working agreements and will continue to pursue a negotiated settlement.”
