Tube staff step up anti-roster action

LONDON’S transport network is likely to be paralysed by at least three days of strike action in the coming weeks, as Tube unions step up their opposition to punishing new rosters for all-night Tube service.

The executive committees of rail unions RMT and Aslef will both receive reports today from regional officials recommending strike action, the Morning Star has been told.

Aslef, which represents drivers, is likely to call 24-hour strikes from 9.14pm on January 27, February 15 and February 17.
