Planned London Underground strikes by RMT workers suspended

Planned strikes by London Underground workers in the RMT have been suspended, the union has announced.

The strikes were originally set to take place from 1 to 16 November due to a dispute about pay and conditions. Planned strikes from ASLEF - the train drivers' union - are still set to go ahead.

An RMT spokesperson said the union had suspended their strike action after "intense negotiations with London Underground management and a significantly improved offer".

They 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."
