Union threatens further strike action on Tube

RMT leader Bob Crow has threatened further industrial action if London Underground fails to meet union demands.

The RMT and the London Underground are due to meet for talks next week in a bid to resolve their dispute.

"If we don't make progress and come to an agreement with Transport for London then we will definitely strike again. It won't be next week, as you have to give seven day's notice, but it could be as soon as the week after,' said Mr Crow.

The recent 48-hour tube strike was the first strike to affect the entire network since 2004 and it is estimated to have cost the London economy around £100m.

"The last thing that business community wants to hear is that there might be more disruption in the coming weeks," said Helen Hill of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
