Londoners set to endure more tube strikes

Tube strikes....again?! Unfortunately so.

It was announced today (May 4th 2011) that London commuters are to face disrupted tube services in the coming months, due to planned tube strikes.

Tube workers are to take strike action after a row broke out over the sacking of two drivers - Eamon Lynch and Arwyn Thomas. The Tube Union RMT believes it was due to their trade union activities.

To see planned tube strike dates click here:
