A 24-hour strike on the London Underground is set to go ahead despite one union considering a last-minute deal.

Talks were held on Saturday (January 7) between the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) union, Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) and London Underground (LU).

The aim was to prevent a planned strike on the London Underground between 6pm on Sunday (January 8) and 5.59pm on Monday (January 9).

RMT withdrew from the talks although TSSA announced LU had made a new offer and would be consulting on whether to accept.

But the strike will still go ahead because RMT has more members than TSSA, reportedly ten times as many.

The strike will affect most London Underground stations, although a reduced service is expected to run on the line.

TSSA tweeted: "London Underground have made new offer in the station staffing dispute. TSSAunion now consulting with reps & will respond tomorrow morning."

Mick Cash, RMT's general secretary, previously said: "RMT will not stand by while safety is compromised on London Underground off the back of cash-led cuts to staffing levels that the union has warned would have a serious, lasting and corrosive impact for staff and passengers alike.

"That is why our members are taking this action.

"RMT members on the London Underground stations see day in and day out the toxic impact of the job cuts programme and they are reporting back that it is horrific."
