London Underground strike suspended but dispute continues

Strike action by rail union TSSA at London Underground due to take place next Wednesday (4^th September) has been suspended.  

Hundreds of TSSA members working as Customer Service Managers took the decision after discussions with the company showed some progress. 

The dispute has been ongoing since the spring and has already seen walkouts with stations closing as a result. It was triggered by London Underground’s ‘Stations Changes’ proposals, which carries potential changes to the terms and conditions, job role and location of Customer Service Manager members, who are responsible for running stations. 

Commenting, TSSA General Secretary, Maryam Eslamdoust said: “Our Customer Service Manager members have been clear all along that continued threats to their roles, locations, terms and conditions will not stand unchallenged. 

“Their determination in this dispute has now delivered some progress and as a result the decision has been taken to suspend strike action on 4^th September.  

“However, we remain in dispute and call on London Underground to respond positively and work constructively with us to reach a resolution which address our concerns.”
