Victoria Line strike from 9pm Tuesday 21st April for 24 hours over alleged bullying and safety concerns

Victoria Line strike:

There will be a strike from 9pm Tuesday 21st April until 9pm Wednesday 22nd April on the Victoria Line of the London Underground over a safety equipment dispute, as well as alleged bullying and harassment.

Members are claiming that doors are opening on the wrong side, and that all other lines do not have this.

Victoria Line communters are advised to find alternate routes, and other Underground lines will be busier during the strike.

180 workers at the Seven Sisters depot will be taking part.

RMT general secretary Bob Crow said "There can be no excuse for the failure to install Correct Door Side Enabling Equipment. It is operational on all other sections of the Underground and this dangerous penny-pinching on the Victoria Line puts both our members and the general public at risk.

"There is a culture of bullying and harassment of our members and representatives on the Victoria Line which is reflected in the sacking of Carl Campbell and the continued victimisation of Glenroy Watson and we are determined to put a stop to it."

A Transport for London spokeswoman told the media: "This proposed strike action is completely unnecessary. London Underground believes these issues can be resolved by further discussion. There are procedures in place to deal with these kinds of issues and we ask RMT to return to the negotiating table."

Central Line problems Tuesday morning:

In other news, the Central Line has been running with severe delays ever since 7:30am this morning (Tuesday) due to a signal failure at Bank.

There is also no Waterloo and City Line service due to a signal failure near Waterloo.
