London Tube workers are set to go on strike for a week in a row over pensions, job cuts and working conditions.
Underground workers will strike for a week from July 23 until 28 July, the RMT union has announced.
The strikes are part of a long-running dispute between the RMT and Transport for London (TfL) over jobs, pensions and working conditions.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “This week of action will shut down the London Underground and show just how important the work of our members is.
“Plans by TfL to cut 600 jobs and attack our members pensions are simply unacceptable.
“We are aware that Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has had the TfL budget cut.
“However, he needs to align himself with our union and his London Underground staff in pushing back against the Tory government, exposing their damaging agenda to a key part of London transport infrastructure.”
