London is set to be hit by another Tube strike as RMT calls more action for March 15
The RMT blamed London Underground for imposing 600 job losses at stations and claimed it had "refused to rule out attacks on pensions or ripping up agreements on conditions of work".
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "Our members will never accept job losses, attacks on their pensions or changes to working conditions in order to pay for a funding cut which is the government's political decision. "Tube workers provide an essential service to the capital, making sure the city can keep moving and work long hours in demanding roles.
"In return they deserve decent pensions, job security and good working conditions and RMT will fight and tooth nail to make sure that's what they get." The union said that while Transport for London is facing funding cuts, it has imposed those cuts on the RMT's members "instead of standing up to ministers".
