We know it’s going to be damaging to London and the economy at a time when public transport is playing a crucial role in the capital’s recovery Andy Lord, TfL Other TfL services, including DLR, London Overground and Trams, are not affected by the industrial action and will be running but will be busier TfL said no proposals have been tabled on pensions or terms and conditions, and nobody will lose their jobs because of the proposals it has set out. Andy Lord, TfL’s chief operating officer, said: “I’d like to apologise to London for the impact this strike will have on journeys tomorrow and on Tuesday morning. We are demanding a direct face-to-face meeting with Mayor Sadiq Khan to sort this mess out RMT general secretary Mick Lynch “Alternatives to the Tube, including the bus and rail networks, are likely to be much busier than usual and we expect the severe disruption caused by this strike to continue into the morning of Tuesday 7 June. Ultimately, this will only harm London’s economy and it is time for TfL to sort out their dispute with the RMT so we can get back to building prosperity and showing the world that London is open business Richard Burge, London Chamber of Commerce and Industry General secretary Mick Lynch said: “We are demanding a direct face-to-face meeting with Mayor Sadiq Khan to sort this mess out.
