Union calls off London Underground strike

The RMT union has suspended a planned 24-hour strike on the London Underground that was due to go ahead on Tuesday, but said it remained in dispute with Transport for London over pay, plans to introduce Night Tube and station staffing.

"RMT's executive has agreed to suspend tomorrow's action over pay and night tube to allow for further consideration and consultation on the current offer," said RMT general secretary Mick Cash.

More than 100 representatives of the RMT union held a mass meeting near Euston to decide whether to accept a revised offer from London Underground (LU) in the disputes.

"The union makes it clear that we remain in dispute and the strike action scheduled for February remains on," Cash added.

"RMT also remains in dispute over station staffing and the week of action on that issue, scheduled to begin from the seventh of February, also remains on and the union is finalising the details for the continuation of that industrial campaign and the on-going fight over the threat to jobs, services and safety."
