The CBI today commented on the London Underground strike which will disrupt the tube network from this evening and throughout Wednesday.
John Cridland, CBI Deputy Director-General, said:
“It is disappointing that the RMT and TSSA have decided to strike again, which will once more disrupt London. The general public and employers will, for the third time in recent months, suffer the knock-on disruption and misery of a major tube strike.
“Unfortunately, the current law often allows strikes to be decided by only a small number of the workforce. In this case, just 33% of balloted members supported the strike, only 17% of the total London Underground workforce.
“This is a big disruption caused by a small union minority – and that shouldn’t happen.
“The CBI is calling for a number of changes to legislation. Strikes should only go ahead if 40% of those balloted, as well as a simple majority of those voting, support the action.”
