Hours before another strike of London Underground personnel, representatives from the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) trade union and management reached a working agreement. The last-ditch talks were called to prevent another crippling strike, such as reported in last month’s newsletter. Calling off the strike, RMT said the talks had yielded a ‘viable framework for a review of cuts and proposed ticket office closures’.
