London chamber warns over Underground strikes
London Chamber of Commerce and Industry warns that further Underground strikes could affect workers, customers and visitors during pre-Christmas trading. It urges the RMT to reconsider the proposed disruption.
Issued by London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, London ·
The chamber’s formal response highlights eight further Underground strike dates, including two immediately before Christmas. Chief executive Karim Fatehi says shops, restaurants and hotels depend on festive spending to offset quieter periods. The organisation argues that uncertainty over transport could deter visits and add pressure to firms and employees. It calls for a reliable network during the capital’s busiest trading season. These are the chamber’s concerns about proposed action, not confirmation of the eventual economic impact or that every strike will proceed.
