Tube strike set for Wednesday and Thursday this week with London Underground stations closed

Tube strikes are going ahead after talks failed to resolve a dispute over pay, rail union TSSA confirmed. Members of the association will walk out tomorrow (Wednesday, April 10) and on Thursday, April 11.

Customer service managers will walk out from 12.01am to 11.59pm on both days. They are responsible for running stations. TSSA said that its members are concerned about potential changes to their terms and conditions, job roles and locations.

It is not known which stations will be closed yet.

TSSA's general secretary, Maryam Eslamdoust, said: "Our Customer Service Manager members are united and determined to take strike action this week in defence of their terms and conditions

"This strike could have been avoided if London Underground had negotiated with us in good faith. Instead, we have been left in a position where London Underground is still unable to explain the impact of its ‘Stations Changes’ proposals.

"We cannot allow the continued threats to our members' roles, locations, terms and conditions to stand unchallenged, that is why our members are taking strike action this week. We’ll see how quickly London Underground get back round the negotiating table when they see the strength and determination of our members."

This comes after train driver's union Aslef announced it would call of London Underground strikes on today (April 8) and Saturday, May 4. Transport for London has not yet confirmed how the two-day strike will impact services, but has warned that some stations may need to close at short notice on those days.

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
