Planned strikes next week by London Underground drivers have now been suspended.

Members of Aslef and the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union were due to walk out in a long-running dispute over pay, pensions and conditions.

But on Friday the unions and Transpot for London announced an eleventh-hour deal that means industrial action is no longer going ahead.

Finn Brennan, Aslef’s organiser on the Underground, said: “After a week of intense negotiations, we have made real progress in making sure our members’ working conditions and pensions are protected from the impact of the Tory government cuts to Transport for London funding.

“There will be no changes to pension benefits before the next general election and any future changes to working conditions and agreements will only be made by negotiation.”

Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, said: “Despite the onerous funding deal conditions imposed by the Government we have managed to avoid industrial action.

“Negotiation is always the best way forward and this shows what we can achieve by working with trade unions.”
