Tube strike to hit Londoners

editor — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 09:56:07 +0000

Small and medium-sized business owners in London have been advised to allow staff to work from home tomorrow to negate the effects of the latest tube strike. The 24-hour action begins tonight at 7pm and up to 60% of tube services could be out of action in the industrial action that is being brought by the RMT and TSSA unions. This will be the third strike in a dispute over job cuts for 650 ticket office workers and 150 station managers. There are plans for 100 extra buses to operate as well as increased riverboat services in order to keep London moving. TFL also said planned roadworks were being put on hold during the strike. A fourth 24-hour tube strike is planned for November 29th.

Law on strikes 'should be changed'

editor — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 10:17:25 +0100

Boris Johnson and the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) have called for changes to the law to make it harder for workers to take strike action. As London currently suffers from another 24-hour tube strike the Mayor wants the government to introduce legislation preventing action unless at least 50% of union members in a workplace take part in a ballot. As the law currently stands industrial action can take place even if only 1% of those polled respond - as long as there is a majority in favour. There are concerns that the country's productivity will be negatively affected over the coming months as union leaders urge mass action against the government's planned spending cuts. The CBI have called for the notice period for industrial action to increase from seven to 14 days after the ballot takes place to give businesses more time to prepare for strikes. "The law needs updating to reflect the fact that 85% of private sector employees are not members of a union, and that most employers now negotiate directly with staff or their representatives to bring about changes in the workplace," said CBI deputy director-general John Cridland. "While workers have the legal right to withdraw their labour, employers have a responsibility to run their businesses. The public increasingly expects it to be business as usual, even during a strike, so firms must be allowed to hire temps directly from an agency to provide emergency cover for striking workers."
