United Kingdom: Strike on London Underground

By Larry Habegger | Permalink | No Comments | April 2nd, 2008 | Trackback

A 72-hour strike on the London Underground is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. April 6 and end at the same time April 9. The two labor unions calling for the strike represent 7,500 station staff and drivers who are protesting what they consider a compromise of safety but what management says has nothing to do with safety. The issue is a plan to close 40 ticket offices and reduce opening hours of others. Whether a safety issue or not, if it is not resolved the strike will disrupt Tube service throughout London.
