Tube services remained suspended on the fifth day of an RMT strike that has severely disrupted London Underground operations and commuter travel. RMT members rejected a 3.4% pay offer and are campaigning for a reduction of the 35-hour working week that Transport for London described as unaffordable. RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey called on Mayor Sadiq Khan to meet the union and demanded direct talks rather than social media statements.
