EPPING FOREST: Tube workers to strike
Tube workers are to strike in protest against the sacking of two drivers.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union has said its tube drivers will walk out for between nine and 24 hours from Monday May 16 to Friday May 20 and again between Monday June 13 to Friday June 17.
Members of the RMT voted 2-1 in favour of the strike in protest at the sacking of tube drivers Eamon Lynch and Arwyn Thomas.
The RMT claims the men are being victimised for union activity while Transport for London claims one man broke safety rules while the other was abusive towards colleagues.
