TUBE STRIKE BEGINS AFTER TALKS FAIL - 09 JUNE 2009
A strike by thousands of London Underground workers has begun after last-gasp peace talks broke down.
Members of the Rail Maritime and Transport union walked out at the start of a 48-hour stoppage, which will cause travel chaos across the south east.
The RMT union expects the entire network to come to a halt, it will cause huge problems for millions of commuters and visitors and cost businesses tens of millions of pounds.But this is down to London Underground management dragging its feet over finding a way forward. Downing street have told both sides to find common ground and resolve the dispute.
Leaders of the RMT union met London Underground (LU) managers at the offices of the conciliation service ACAS all day but failed to find a breakthrough in time to stop the strike going ahead.
