Description

London Underground has announced plans to cut 400 office and management jobs and leave an equivalent number of vacancies unfilled. The announcement comes after the second of a series of strikes in protest at 800 ticket office jobs the company previously said it will cut. The mediating service Acas has sent out a formal invitation to the company, the RMT union and the Transport Salaried Staffs Association to attend fresh talks to resolve the dispute.
