Tube drivers vote for strike action Tube drivers vote for strike action over 24 hour Tube
(35 minutes later)
London Underground drivers have voted to strike for 24 hours in a row over pay and the introduction of a new all-night service, union Aslef said. London Underground (LU) drivers have voted to strike for 24 hours over pay and the introduction of a new all-night service, union Aslef said.
The call for action comes after the union, which represents about 70% of Tube drivers, rejected a 0.75% pay rise and a £500 bonus for all workers for introducing the night service. The strike will be on 8 July from 21:30 BST, BBC London's Tom Edwards understands.
It has also rejected an extra £250 bonus for drivers. It comes after the union rejected a 0.75% pay rise and a £500 bonus for all workers for the night service.
More soon. Aslef, which represents around 70% of drivers, has also rejected an extra £250 bonus for the staff.
Two other unions are also carrying out ballots which could mean all the Tube unions go on strike on the same day, which has not happened since 1992.
The results from the other unions, the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) and TSSA, are due later in the month.
A strike was first mooted in May after Aslef said an all-night service, to be introduced by the end of the year, would impact its workers' "work/life balance".
On Thursday Aslef said LU was trying to force through new rosters which would mean drivers worked unlimited hours number of hours at the weekend and no extra pay during the new service.
