In London, most of the subway lines remained at a complete standstill – Headache for the Sunak government, the new mobilizations prepared by civil servants and nurses
Unbelievable suffering awaited millions of citizens in London and Paris today due to the new strike carried out by subway workers.
In London, most tube lines remained completely at a standstill and some of them operated with very limited service. The new strikes came after a call by several unions opposing a cost-cutting plan at London’s public transport operator, Transport for London (TfL).

Long queues formed at bus stops although many workers chose to work from home today to avoid the inconvenience.
Britain is facing a new round of strike action. Around 100,000 civil servants working in many government services as well as teachers in Scotland have voted in favor of a new strike to protest over pay, pensions and jobs while train drivers have announced a new strike on Saturday 26 November. In addition, the “green light” for the British nurses’ strike that can last up to six months was given by 100 institutions of the British “National Health System” (NHS), causing a headache for the Sunak government just before Christmas.
Paris also has no metro
At the same time, Paris was without a subway today as a protest against the rising cost of living.
The French capital’s RATP public transport company announced that almost all of its lines would not run or run with a limited number of routes during peak hours and called on citizens to telecommute or postpone non-essential travel.
Only metro lines 1 and 14, which are fully automated without drivers, will operate normally but at the risk of being overcrowded.
Unions have gone on strike in many sectors in recent weeks to demand wage increases or hiring as skyrocketing energy costs contribute to rising inflation.
