Workers on the London Underground are set to go on strike in November. 

It comes as union Aslef announced drivers on the Tube would conduct two 24-hour walkouts across two weeks.

The strikes will take place on Thursday, November 7 and Tuesday, November 12.

It's expected that the strikes by Aslef members will likely cause the London Underground to shut down.

London Underground drivers to go on strike in November

The Tube strikes were confirmed by the Transport for London commissioner Andy Lord as part of his regular TfL board update.

Lord shared that he was disappointed that members of Aslef and RMT (Rail, Maritime and Transport) unions had voted to strike to get an improved pay offer.

Sharing that TfL had offered a revised pay rise of 4.6% with train drivers on the London Underground offered a 4.5% increase, according to the Standard.

Lord said: "I’m disappointed that Aslef and RMT members have voted in favour of industrial action following our recent discussions over pay.

“It’s extremely disappointing that Aslef has announced two days of industrial action in November on London Underground, despite our offer being fair and reasonable.

“We have held several constructive discussions with our trade unions and, after considering their feedback, have made a revised offer, with an average uplift of 4.6 per cent.

“This rewards our staff for their hard work and benefits the lowest paid staff the most."

Aslef's full-time organiser on London Underground Finn Brennan said: "We don’t want to go on strike – we don’t want to make travelling in and around the capital more difficult for passengers and we don’t want to lose a day’s pay – but we have been forced into this position because London Underground management won’t sit down properly and negotiate with us.”
