BUSINESSLDN DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE MUNIYA BARUA RESPONDS TO FURTHER INDUSTRIAL ACTION ON THE TUBE:
“The prospect of yet more strikes in the New Year after this vote by the RMT will be deeply frustrating for Londoners and businesses across the capital. Industrial action has heavily disrupted London’s economy in recent years, especially in sectors such as hospitality and retail that rely on footfall, so we desperately need all sides to reach a breakthrough and put an end to damaging strikes.
“London relies on a fully-functioning, world-class transport network to retain its position as a global city and support jobs across the capital.”
