Staff on London’s Docklands Light Railway (DLR) are to strike over pay and working conditions,

Carrying commuters to and from the Canary Wharf financial sector in the east of the city, the DLR will see strikes occur for three days from Wednesday, June 23. This walk out by platform and station staff will coincide with a planned strike by maintenance workers at contractor Tube Lines on the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly underground lines.

“Our members on the Docklands Light Railway have shown once again that they will not be bullied by management in to taking on more work and more responsibility without being properly compensated by the company,” RMT General Secretary Bob Crow said in a statement.

On Thursday, the RMT announced that workers on Tubes Lines would carry out two 48-hour strikes over pay, jobs and working conditions.

The strikes, from Wednesday, June 23, and Wednesday, July 14, will likely have a knock-on effect on all the system, it added.
