London’s Tube strike: the price of success 夜間地鐵服務






倫敦市政當局計劃在今年9月12日開始推出午夜後地鐵服務,但是工會對倫敦交通局給司機及其他夜間工作人員提供的報酬計劃感到不滿。
工人們罷工從昨日傍晚開始,參加這次罷工行動的包括全部四個地鐵工會,對倫敦地鐵服務的影響將持續星期四全天。



From Espresso: From 6.30pm today the London Underground will grind to a halt for the second time in four weeks. Unions are unhappy about plans for 24-hour services from September, arguing that proposed bonuses, pay rises and working-time arrangements are insufficient. July’s strike was estimated to cost London’s economy £300m. But Londoners should cheer up. At 8.6m the city’s population is higher than ever; daily it inhales 2m commuters, many heading for the financial, technology, law and business-services firms at its heart. The industrial action is a symptom not just of the unions’ power and militancy, but also of London’s success http://econ.st/1DrAUkw
