UK: Tube staff to strike in London Jan. 5-11
Unionized London Underground workers to strike in London, UK, Jan. 5-11. Transport disruptions likely.
London Underground (Tube) workers affiliated with the RMT union will strike in London on Jan. 5-11. The strike aims to denounce the latest salary negotiations.
Through Jan. 5-11, the industrial action will involve different personnel and disrupt various services:
Jan. 5, 6: Engineering and maintenance personnel
Jan. 7, 8: Network control personnel
Jan. 8-10: Engineers, fleet maintenance personnel, station and train station operators
Jan. 9-11: Signallers and service controllers
Disruptions to Underground services could lead to an increased demand for alternative forms of public transportation. Associated protests by striking workers are possible; security officials will likely deploy to any related protests that may materialize. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and police or with disgruntled commuters are possible.
Reconfirm the status of public transportation in London through Jan. 5-11. Avoid all protests as a precaution. Heed instructions from authorities.
