London Tube workers, represented by the RMT union, will stage strikes between 5 and 12 January due to a disagreement over a 5% pay offer. Employees from various sections of the Underground will walk out on different days during the first two weeks of 2024. The dispute arises as Transport for London insists the pay rise is "the most we can afford." RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch urges TfL to improve their offer, emphasizing the contribution of Tube workers to the London economy and expressing discontent with what he deems "modest below-inflation offers."
