London Underground Strikes Suspended

Progress in pay dispute talks leads to suspension of planned walkouts, though some disruption still expected.

London Underground strikes planned for this week have been suspended following progress in pay dispute talks.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) had planned walkouts in protest at a 5% pay offer.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch announced the suspension of the strikes after 'positive discussions' and 'significant further funding' for a settlement became available.
Despite the suspension of the strikes, Transport for London (TfL) warns of some disruption on Monday due to the late cancellation.
The programme of strike action began in June 2022, with RMT members voting to accept a 5% pay rise for 2022-2023 and job security guarantees in November.
