London hit by second day of Tube strike disruption this week
London is preparing for a second day of disruption due to a Tube drivers' strike organized by the RMT union. Transport for London (TfL) reported that 60% of drivers worked during the first day of the strike, indicating that many RMT members did not participate. The strike is part of a dispute over the introduction of a four-day working week, which has been supported by the rival Aslef union.
