Tube workers accept pay deal of up to 11% unions say

Tube workers have accepted a pay deal that could see their salaries increase by up to 11%, according to union representatives. The deal, reached after negotiations between unions and transport authorities, is expected to be implemented in the coming months.

Union officials have hailed the agreement as a victory for workers, who have been demanding a significant pay rise to keep up with the rising cost of living in the city. The deal also includes measures to improve working conditions for tube staff, such as increased rest breaks and better access to training opportunities.

The pay deal comes after several weeks of negotiations and strikes by tube workers, which caused disruption to the city’s public transport network. Union leaders have expressed relief that an agreement has finally been reached, and have praised workers for their solidarity and determination throughout the process.

Transport authorities have also welcomed the pay deal, saying that it will help ensure the continued smooth operation of the city’s public transport system. They have committed to working closely with unions to implement the agreement and address any remaining issues that may arise.
