Tube staff could strike over Jubilee and ballot set for ScotRail staff

The RMT has said its members could strike over a dispute at Euston and Green Park stations on June 3.

This means that, should no resolution be reached, two key stations will not be operational for part of Jubilee weekend — set to be one of the busiest weekends of the year.

• Temporary timetable being introduced by ScotRail
• RMT ballot for potentially “biggest” strike in UK rail history has begun

The dispute is regarding management practices which have been described by RMT as “unacceptable”.

Members have been instructed not to book on from 00:01 hours to 23:59 hours on Friday 3 June 2022.

RMT general secretary suggests the action is not unavoidable, and that if their issues are dealt with it will not go ahead.

RMT says drivers will be balloted over pay, describing ScotRail’s offer of a 2.2% rise as “derisory”.

A timetable for the ballot and any ensuing action will be set in due course.
