Workers from the London Underground, represented by the ASLEF and RMT unions, are planning multiple strikes from November 1-8, 2024, following disputes over pay and working conditions. Various groups, including maintenance staff, engineers, control center personnel, and emergency response workers, will be striking on different days. These actions are likely to significantly disrupt services throughout the London Underground system.
- November 1-2: Maintenance and engineering workers will strike, continuing to refuse overtime until November 8.
- November 3-4: Track access and control center workers will participate in the strikes.
- On November 4, Emergency Response Unit (ERU) staff will also join the action.
- November 5 will involve strikes from station, fleet, and train staff.
- From November 6-8, signalers and service controllers will also stop work.
Additionally, ASLEF has scheduled further walkouts on November 7 and November 12, with overtime bans continuing beyond the official strike dates. This industrial action is expected to create widespread transport disruptions across London, including increased traffic and pressure on alternative modes of transportation. Commuters should anticipate delays and possible protests near major transport hubs, with enhanced security measures expected to be in place.
