Night Tube drivers vote for walkouts
Part-time staff demand rights for new job opportunities
DRIVERS on London’s new Night Tube have voted to strike in protest at a ban on them applying for full-time positions.
New staff were recruited when the Friday and Saturday night services launched last summer, contracted for 16 hours a week.
But while full-time “train operators” are typically recruited from the existing London Underground workforce, Night Tube drivers have been banned from applying for positions for at least six months.
