London Underground walkouts by RMT staff called off
Planned strikes by RMT staff on the London Underground have been called off following talks over pay between the union and Transport for London.
Industrial action by the RMT was due to begin this evening.
Workers were also set to take action on several days in the coming weeks but a union spokesperson said it had received “a significantly improved offer”.
Strikes by members of the drivers’ union Aslef next week and later in the month are still scheduled to go ahead.
The RMT spokesperson added: “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.”
