RMT underground workers to strike over safety agreements

THOUSANDS of London Underground staff are taking strike action against attempts to “bulldoze” safety agreements in the transport industry.
Maintenance and engineering staff have voted nine to one in favour of taking strike action over proposals to cut back on train preparation and inspection schedules.
The union says that these cutbacks could have a harsh impact on public safety and service reliability, and that they could trigger the system failures of passenger trains during service.
