HUNDREDS of London transport workers walked out on a 24-hour strike today in protest at their management’s imposition of an “undignified” pay cut.

More than 300 Transport for London (TfL) employees working on the Dial-a-Ride service, which provides special transport to elderly and vulnerable people, walked out alongside 300 TfL revenue protection inspectors, compliance officers and road-transport enforcement officers.

The workers, who are Unite members, claim that TfL are attempting to force through a 1 per cent pay increase for this year, which is below the inflation rate of 1.8 per cent.
