London Tube Faces Major Disruptions as Unions Announce November Strikes
The Aslef and RMT unions have planned multiple walkouts over pay and conditions, threatening to paralyze the Underground network.
- Two major unions, Aslef and RMT, have scheduled strikes affecting the London Underground throughout November, with significant disruptions expected.
- Aslef has announced 24-hour strikes on November 7 and 12, which are likely to shut down the entire Tube network.
- RMT members, including station staff and signallers, will strike on various dates from November 1 to 8, adding to the travel chaos.
- The dispute centers around pay offers from Transport for London, with unions rejecting a 4.5% increase as inadequate.
