Tube Strike Unacceptable

Simon says Tube strikes will hurt London and Londoners

Commenting on London Underground workers voting to strike over the sacking of maintenance staff Liberal Democrat London Mayoral candidate Simon Hughes said:-

"This sort of industrial action does nobody in London any good. It is no good for the passenger, no good for London Underground and no good for the unions.

"In spite of today's ballot the unions must think again and pull back from what will be yet another unpopular, unnecessary and unjustified strike."
