London Tube Drivers Strike

London Tube Drivers Strike

The RMT union walkout has forced thousands of workers to walk to their offices or work from home as the morning rush hour was severely disrupted.

Analysis suggests the ongoing strikes could cost London's economy up to £760 million this year due to lost productivity and business impact.

The dispute centers on TfL's proposal to condense the working week, which the union claims is a 'fake' benefit that will lead to worse conditions.

Commuters are being advised to check for updates ahead of the London Marathon this Sunday, which could also be affected by the disruption.
