Underground Workers Suspend Strike Amid Talks
Strike action by London Underground (LU) workers planned for next Tuesday has been suspended following talks between union and LU management.
A 48-hour work stoppage had been planned to begin at 21:00 on Tuesday 14 October in a dispute over staff cuts.
However, talks between Transport for London (TfL) and the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) are said to have made "significant progress".
The dispute surrounds a TfL plan to close all LU ticket offices in an effort to save £50m a year.
