The battle to save critical ticket office jobs rages on
Rail union members vote for strike action

Battle lines have been drawn in the fight to save London Underground ticket offices after the RMT union voted for strike action yesterday.

The announcement came on the same day as a flash mob of 50 campaigners gathered at Euston station in central London to protest against the closures, which will see hundreds lose their jobs.

Transport union TSSA will also ballot members in the coming weeks to vote on joining the campaign to stop the savage cuts implemented by Mayor Boris Johnson.
