Aslef’s drivers will bring Tube to a halt
Overwhelming vote for strike action on July 8
LONDON’S Tube will grind to a halt next month after train drivers voted overwhelmingly for strike action over bosses’ plans to impose all-night and all-weekend working.
The vote by Aslef members is a hammer blow to London Mayor Boris Johnson’s plan to force all-night working on Underground staff.
Members of Aslef, which represents four in five of the drivers, will walk out from 9.30pm on July 8 for 24 hours. Further strike dates are expected to be announced.
