Should the London Underground be considered an "essential service" which would ban all future worker strikes?

No but restrict union power

essential service but don’t ban strikes

Yes but worker strikes should be allowed

It should be an essential service. Not for the purpose of banning strikes

Should be essential but allow strikes

The London Underground is already an essential service regardless of whether it's officially considered one or not, however the workers should be entitled to protest unfair pay and working conditions via actions such as strikes. If you don't want strikes then take care of your staff.

Pay them farely and they won't want to strike. Or treat them like humans with respect and dignity that everyone deserves

It should be considered essential but workers should have the right to strike if they are being underpaid.

There should be guidelines about when a strike on essential services is valid - not just because unions aren’t prepared to negotiate

It is an essential service to many however so is getting paid for workers so they should be fairly compensated fir what they do so they don't have to go on strike and cause disruption.

YES should be Essential service, and should not allow strikes, if they are not happy with the pay they received go and find job somewhere else, they have sign up for this job in the first place and then can't complaint later, as far as I know they are getting most paid job compare to other sectors.

The underground is essential but workers rights are important and need an alternative to strikes to be heard

Strikes are necessary industrial progression but it's undeniable that strikes cause more issues for the public than the government

Trains should gradually become driver less and previous train drivers should be trained to fix the trains if something goes wrong

Yes, but future worker strikes should not be banned, if they are not being compensated fairly, it needs to talked about.

it is an essential service however taking away their right to fight for better treatment is wrong. you should give them better treatment/support and they will stop striking

no underground is an essential service but it is important to hear out workers and let them strike to help them in a way

Public transport for London is essential. However the workers have every right to strike if they wish to do

yes, it is an essential service, but i do not believe that should mean workers should not strike, it should mean they immediately get a usable/functional/livable wage and benefits so they dont feel like they need to strike ever again. same as all other key workers and essential service vendors.

People should always be allowed to strike however the government should do something in order to support the workers so they don’t

I think banning striking, regardless of sector, is a terrible idea. How about provide good pay and working conditions so strikes won't be necessary

I think people are entitled to speak out if their workplace is being unreasonable. If workers strike because of overwhelming workload, we should address.

Yes the London Underground should be made an essential service but no this should not affect workers’ right to strike.

The whole system should be automated to get rid of the stupid amount they pay drivers and put it towards a security force on the trains.

It is an essential service, but the strikes should not inconvenience the public using it, they can't do anything to change what they're striking for.

If it is so important as to ban all future worker strikes is it not so important to ensure the needs of those workers are met? No, workers should have the right to strike.

They should get fair wages but also they can't protest forever. It's been years. Especially with trains.

No, how would a ban stop people walking out anyway? I support the strikes in the NHS and rail services, although I'd be more in favour of the rail services if they were re-nationalised.

No, but have a percentage of workers that are nessisary for a minimum service on special 'no-striking' contracts, that have a higher base pay

it is an essntial service it's also OVER PRICED and due to TOURISM over used,.
again CBDCs charge tourist PREMIUM fair rate but all citizens get free travel on trains busses and underground NATION WIDE.

the easier it is for nationals to travel the better lives they can have with living where ever they want

anyway i would replace all cars and Rail with drone pod transportation (like in Minority report)
no one will own cars just slot pods that all run off the electrical power generated by the TIDALWAY mega sewer... Oh wait you didn't know it could make power too?

yeh crazy thing is flowing water though a pressure turbine can generate power WOW we could of put turbine wheels along the whole strech of the themes by now and hide them under ground... it's crazy right?

They should only strike in exceptional circumstances, not continuously and be prepared to accept reasonable offers

I believe in the right to strike but I also accept that people need to get to work and or to care for others

There should be a strict limit on the number of strikes and prevent workers to treat strike day as a day off

Yes it should be an essential service but instead strikes should be addressed and solutions be found

People need to get where there going but think about why they strike. Why everyone wants to strike in the UK right now. Cost of living going up but not the wages

Yes, it is an essential service, but strikes and unionisation should still be allowed, there should be some sort of reduced service during strikes the way schools still need to provide care to the most vulnerable children even if they are not teaching that day.

Yes but there should be a level of leniency with striking to ensure fair working conditions and pay.

It should be classified as an essential service, but they should be compensated to reflect the work they do.

Yes, but the rights of workers to strike should not be impacted, if they are essential their voices should be heard.

Bring it back under government control as part of the mod, can't strike otherwise it's treason and you will be dealt with accordingly

I think matters should put in place in case of a strike so people can still show objection but to the public’s lives are not interrupted as much

workers should have the right to strike if working conditions or pay isn’t fair, but strikes cause issues so the government should fix the issues so they don’t have to strike

No, because that would give the government license to try and cap their pay - if they cannot strike, they don't have a voice.

No, although it is an essential service, the right to strike is a fundamental liberty that is vital for the balance of power in the workplace

Yes, it is an essential service, and they should be paid so they therefore wouldn’t have the need to strike

It should be able to pay all its workers enough to be able to live so that they don’t have to strike.

No however if strikers are being unreasonable in there demands or continue to strike even if a deal has been made then the strike should be called illegal

They should still be able to strike however in a way that causes minimal disruption to the services.

Yes, but only if the compensation for London Underground Workers is sufficient enough that they should not need to strike.
