Planned walkouts by London Underground train operators have been halted following an “enhanced proposal” regarding remuneration.
Aslef members were scheduled to strike this Thursday and again next Tuesday, which would have significantly disrupted Tube operations.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport union had previously canceled strikes by its members after reaching an agreement over pay issues.
Finn Brennan, Aslef’s principal organizer for the London Underground, remarked: “After recent negotiations and an improved proposal, Aslef has decided to pause our scheduled industrial action on the Tube.
“The specifics of this proposal will be deliberated with our representatives in a meeting set for Thursday. We are grateful for the advancements made and are relieved that strike actions have been postponed at this moment.”

“We believe that our offer to the trade unions is reasonable, sustainable, beneficial for our staff, and advantageous for London overall – and we encourage our trade unions to continue collaborating with us.”
