The RMT Union has announced that they have suspended the London Underground strikes set to start this evening.

The union says that LU have abandoned the changes to pay structure which means all members will receive the same value in any pay award.

“Following intense negotiations with London Underground management and a significantly improved offer, we have suspended the strikes scheduled to start this evening.

“London Underground have sensibly abandoned their proposed changes to pay structures which now means all our members will receive the same value in any pay award.

“Further discussions will take place next week regarding the pay offer but progress has been made which would not have been possible without the fortitude and industrial strength of our 10,000 members on London Underground.”
