4,000 striking station and revenue control staff have shutdown London Underground in a show of strength to oppose pension attacks and job cuts.
Trains have remained in depots across the network and RMT activists are reporting huge attendances at picket lines despite heavy rain across the capital.
600 station staff jobs will be lost if TfL (Transport for London) plans go through and RMT members face huge detrimental changes to their pensions and working conditions.

Why working overtime works against us…
The sudden sharp increase in station closures demonstrates what we always knew; the job requires more station staff, not fewer.
LU has made clear its intention to get shot of around 600 CSA posts. Talks between RMT and LU have gone nowhere but the strength of the strikes on 1st/3rd March forced a partial (temporary) climbdown on pensions and now LU is looking to take on a grade or a function at a time.
If a Tube strike costs London £50m a day, then it would follow that we generate £18,250,000,000 a year - that's over 18 billion pound!
Watch Jared Wood, our National Executive Committee representative, discuss that and the importance of voting YES YES in our re-ballot.
RMT Regional Organiser John Leach explains why members should Vote yes in the jobs, pensions & agreements re-ballot.
The closing date of this ballot is First Post, Thursday 23rd June 2022. If any member does not receive their ballot paper please contact us by calling the freephone Helpline on 0800 376 3706, or by emailing info@rmt.org.uk.

DEFENDING JOBS, PENSIONS AND AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)
Further to my previous Circular IR/82/22, 29th March 2022, a meeting of Reps from all LUL functions took place where members' anger at LUL's attempts to impose massive cuts by undermining pensions, jobs and conditions was clearly expressed. The meeting committed to take further all grades strike action and the National Executive Committee has taken the decision to conduct a re-ballot of all LUL members on the same basis as before to ensure our mandate for action remains live.
