London Underground workers are set to strike in November, with union Aslef announcing two 24-hour walkouts on November 7 and November 12. The strikes are expected to disrupt Tube services significantly, potentially shutting down operations entirely. Transport for London (TfL) Commissioner Andy Lord expressed disappointment over the decision, noting that members of Aslef and the RMT unions voted for the strikes in pursuit of a better pay offer. TfL had proposed a revised pay increase of 4.6% for workers, while train drivers on the Underground were offered a 4.5% raise. The situation remains tense as negotiations continue.
