Video: Night Tube strike update

On the eve of the first of several proposed Night Tube strikes, Regional Organiser John Leach updates members.

In the video, John explains: "After 6 months of trying to explain and persuade London Underground management that you cannot abolish 200 positions, rip up an agreement that protects our members work life balance, and their right to not have to do these {Night Tube} duties if they can't, we have to stand up and be counted."

The referendum concluded with an overwhelming rejection of the Company's proposals and I advised the Company that RMT now expects the proposals to be withdrawn (IR/127/25, 1st April 2025).
