Read our privacy policy The RMT union has announced Tube strikes on the London Underground on Wednesday 4 and Friday 6 October in a dispute over job losses and safety concerns. On the Tube, the RMT says it has been “locked in a long-running dispute over 600 station staff cuts and detrimental working conditions since last year”. “This strike action will lead to the Tube being shut down and we call on Mayor Sadiq Khan to meet us urgently to discuss this matter.” Previous strikes by RMT members on the London Underground have led to a near-total shutdown of the system. “Nobody wants to see strikes that will cause significant disruption to our customers and we urge them to reconsider and continue engaging with us.” On 4 October the Tube had been expected to carry more passengers than usual as commuters in the London suburbs and Home Counties switched from national rail to the Underground.
