Tube strikes cause rush-hour chaos in London

Tube strikes wrought havoc for thousands of commuters across the capital on Wednesday with unions threatening a further round of further walkouts.

London Underground drivers joined teachers, civil servants, junior doctors and BBC journalists in what threatens to be the biggest walkout since the current wave of industrial action started last year.

Hundreds of picket lines have been staged up and down the country amid continuing anger over issues including pay, jobs, pensions and conditions.

Despite talks being held between unions and the Westminster Government, the public sector strikes remain deadlocked.

No trains are running on any London Underground lines due to a strike by drivers in Aslef and the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT), according to Transport for London's website.

Being stuck there seems like a good way to have a panic attack, it is also extremely dangerous.

Things are getting worse & worse for the UK.

[stamfordmeetup]

If they can afford to go on strike, they are obviously earning too much.

"ALL IN IT TOGETHER" remember that one, how about "NARCISSISM IS KING IN THE UK WORKFORCE"....

[minelander]

teacher and workers shouldnt get better pay and working conditions because i had to stand for 5 minutes in a tube.

[billykidman]

if they hate their jobs why not do something else

[BA]

Imagine that the government can literally stop this from happening at any moment if they gave the workers the pay they deserve!

[KingDovis]

It wasn't that bad. Took only 5 minutes to get out

[Solder-of-Empire]

looks like ukraine got tube workers money))))

[LeReVaQ]

Give these essential worker what they demand. They're reasonable and realistic. Without them the UK wouldn't be what is is today. Start treating them as essential workers! ✊

[babuvangu]

Nah, this was just a nuclear drill test.

[tommanley]

*See how they treat their serfs in today's UK, like pigs.*

[Wooburnmusic]

Aw gee sus, imagine having to be a part of that rat race.

[lindacurrie]

Yes little coverage today from the media, press or government.
Contempt towards striking workers evident to see.
Workers next round of battle give contempt back that can't be ignored.
Do not give up and keep protesting right through 2023. Unions work together as one and give contempt for the government a new meaning..
No coverage does not follow workers going away...

I hope they sack the lot of them! We should source more workers from overseas! What are all these Syrian migrants and ukranian refugees upto! Let them earn there keep innit 🤣 what's Klaus schwabb upto I thought he wanted to build back better he ain't doing a good job is he 🤦🏻‍♂️ even trump did a better job of at least attempting his slogan "make America great again" until they got rid of him!
