LONDON commuters are scrambling to get to work during a one-day strike by the city's subway workers.
Thousands of maintenance workers, drivers and station employees walked off the job yesterday evening for 24 hours to protest 800 planned job cuts, mostly among station staff.
Transport for London, which runs the Underground - known as the Tube - says there will be no compulsory layoffs.
Among those expressing outrage over the Sunday-Monday action was Mayor Boris Johnson. Writing in The Daily Telegraph, Johnson says the action was political and intended to hurt the new coalition government. He says labor laws should be changed to make sure there was overwhelming support for a strike.
More than 3.5 million people use the Tube daily.
