This week’s planned strikes across the Tube network have been called off following “last ditch” talks between Tube bosses and union representatives.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union had planned to stage a series of 24-hour walkouts starting from August 3 following a dispute over TfL’s decision to scrap the pay grade of Night Tube drivers.
But the strikes have been called off at the last minute to allow for further talks, though other planned industrial action will still go ahead at the end of the month unless a further settlement is agreed.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: “Following extensive and wide-ranging discussions through the ACAS machinery we have hammered out enough ground to allow those talks to continue.
As a result, this week’s strike action is suspended although the rest of the planned action remains on.
