LONDON, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) — London is facing transport chaos as members of Britain's Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) stage a series of strikes.
The strikes were planned for September 7-12, leading to an early shutdown on Sunday evening and the closure of the entire London Underground network for four days from Monday.
This means that until Friday the metro will operate in a limited mode or will not operate at all, which will lead to significant inconvenience for passengers.
The strikes come after talks between the RMT and Transport for London (TfL) over pay and a shorter working week failed.
In a statement, the RMT said "management's dismissive approach" had caused anger and distrust among staff, who voted overwhelmingly to take strike action.
“We call on RMT to pause this action, provide their workers with our fair and affordable offer and continue discussions with us,” TfL chief operating officer Claire Mann said ahead of the strikes.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said on his X social media page on Monday that he continues to “urge RMT and TfL to come to the negotiating table and resolve their differences.” –0–
