Title: Tube electricians to go on strike Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 16, 2008, 17:01:16 Quote Electricians who maintain the Tube network after hours are set to go on strike in a row over pay. The Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) said its workers deserved job parity with those on day shifts. The staff are employed by EDF Energy Powerlink and are planning to strike for 36 hours from 2000 BST on Sunday and again on 7 December. Transport for London (TfL) said the strike would not affect services and it expected the network to run as normal. But the union said the strikes have the potential to close large sections of the Tube network.
