TUBE workers have cancelled a mass walkout which was set to disrupt thousands of commuters. <\/p>\n

Planned strikes by London Underground employees on Wednesday and Friday have been called off, the RMT union announced today.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An estimated 3,500 members voted for the two-day walkout as part of their ongoing battle with\u00a0TfL\u00a0over pay and conditions.<\/p>\n

But it has since been scrapped following "significant progress" in talks about jobs and conditions.<\/p>\n

The union said: "The significant progress means that key elements have been settled although there remains wider negotiations to be had in the job, pensions and working agreements dispute."<\/p>\n

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "I congratulate all our members who were prepared to take strike action and our negotiations team for securing this victory in our Tube dispute.<\/p>\n

"Without the unity and industrial power of our members, there is no way we would have been able to make the progress we have.<\/p>\n

"We still remain in dispute over outstanding issues around pensions and working agreements and will continue to pursue a negotiated settlement."<\/p>\n

It comes as rail\u00a0strikes planned by Aslef union for Wednesday, October 4, are still set to go ahead.<\/p>\n

The union also put in place overtime bans for drivers from Monday, October 2, to Friday, October 6, causing travel disturbance throughout the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
