Unite Underground Members To Stage OT Ban

Around 500 Unite engineering and electrical workers voted to take action short of a strike, following a dispute over pay and the rejection by union members of a two-year pay deal.

Workers were balloted in response to London Underground’s "final" two-year offer, which was a 1.5 per cent pay rise this year followed by an inflation-plus-0.5 per cent rise in 2010-11.

Unite members voted against a full strike, opting instead for an overtime ban.

The ban and a work-to-rule policy will begin from the 7th December.
