A STRIKE by London Underground workers will go ahead on Thursday after last-minute talks failed.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport union said Transport for London had refused its offer to suspend strike action.The union said it asked TfL to pause job cuts and detrimental pension changes to give both sides the space to come to a negotiated settlement.The union also asked TfL make a clear statement thatwould not agree to detrimental attacks on pensions arising out of a review they are conducting with the Government.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "TfL have missed a golden opportunity to make progress in these negotiations and avoid strike action on Thursday. "Our members are resolute in their determination to see a just settlement to this jobs and pensions dispute."TfL need to start making compromises and work with the union to reach a deal that works for staff and avoids further disruption to the lives of passengers."
