Tube workers to strike on jubilee bank holiday
Staff are set to strike over what they're calling a ‘toxic working environment’
Last updated 29th May 2022
London Underground workers at two Tube stations are to strike on one of the Jubilee bank holidays in a row over bullying.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union at Euston and Green Park have said they will walk out on June 3 unless their complaints about bullying are addressed.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "Staff at Euston and Green Park have suffered years of sustained bullying and intimidation by a manager who has created a toxic working environment."
Why are tube workers striking?
"The union has tried in vain to reason with management, but they now will not let local representatives be part of a review into dismissals at the stations, instigated by the manager in question", Mick Lynch adds.
"Our strike on June 3 will cause significant disruption to people wishing to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee.
"However, if Tube bosses do the right thing, and deal appropriately with the manager in question, we can find a just resolution to this dispute."
A Transport for London spokesperson said: "We hold our people to high standards and ensure everyone is treated fairly.
"We're aware of this dispute and are carrying out an urgent review in a bid to resolve it.
"We have had a number of meetings with the RMT and are urging them not to take strike action and to continue working with us to find a resolution."
