Zoë Garbett, the Green Party candidate for Mayor of London, has responded to the announcement of strike action by London underground train drivers scheduled in April and May.
Zoë said, “The results of this ballot by ASLEF are convincing – it is clear train drivers are very unhappy with the way Transport for London is treating them.
“Londoners are facing more strike action because the current Labour Mayor’s and TfL have tried to impose new terms and conditions which mean drivers are longer working longer for less pay.
“If elected Mayor of London I would make sure TfL are engaging more positively with workers and their unions to address their concerns. I think we all accept things need to change from time to time but it is important we do that collaboratively rather than imposing this on workers like this.”
