Underground strike 'definitely on' | Underground strike 'definitely on' |
(35 minutes later) | |
The London Tube strike will "definitely go ahead" for 24 hours from Wednesday evening, union Aslef has said. | |
The announcement came shortly after London Underground (LU) made an increased but "final" pay offer to staff in a bid to avert the action. | |
Unions were given until 18:30 BST to accept the offer which includes a 2% rise this year and £2,000 for drivers on the new all-night service. | |
Aslef, RMT, TSSA and Unite unions have been in dispute over a pay deal. | |
A 0.75% pay increase with an additional payment of £250 for drivers was originally offered. | |
Almost 20,000 workers are due to strike from 18:30 BST. | |
LU chief operating officer Steve Griffiths said in a message to staff that a "full and final" offer had been made in an attempt to conclude five months of talks. |
