A British union threatens a strike to disrupt the queen’s jubilee party

A British union said on Wednesday that a planned strike at two London Underground stations next month would cause “major disruption” to people wanting to take part in the capital’s Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) union said it will stage a 24-hour strike at busy “Tube” stations on June 3, amid four days of celebrations to mark 70 years of the monarch on the throne, unless action is taken against a manager he accuses of harassment.

“Our strike on June 3 will cause major disruption to people who wish to celebrate the Queen’s jubilee. However, if the tube bosses do the right thing, and deal properly with the manager in question, we can find a fair solution to this dispute.” “, RMT added in a statement.

The strike would affect Green Park, one of the closest stations to Buckingham Palace, where many of the celebrations are centered, and Euston, one of the main visitor centers of the capital.

Transport for London (TfL) said it did not expect any impact on train services if the strike went ahead as it would only affect stations.

“We are aware of this conflict and are carrying out an urgent review in an attempt to resolve it,” TfL said in a statement. “We have had a series of meetings with the RMT and we urge them not to go on strike and to continue working with us to find a solution.”
