London Underground workers will strike on the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend if action is not taken against a manager who they say has created a "toxic work environment".

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) at Euston and Green Park stations announced they will walk out on Friday, June 3, unless their complaints about bullying and intimidation are resolved.

Mike Lynch, the RMT general secretary, said: "Staff at Euston and Green Park tube have suffered years of sustained bullying and intimidation by a manager who has created a toxic working environment. 

"The union has tried in vain to reason with management, but they now will not let local representatives be part of a review into dismissals at the stations, instigated by the manager in question.

"Our strike on June 3 will cause significant disruption to people wishing to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee. However, if tube bosses do the right thing, and deal appropriately with the manager in question, we can find a just resolution to this dispute."

The National Rail services at Euston will not be affected, however Ealing residents with Jubilee weekend plans that involve travel at Euston or Green Park stations are advised to seek alternative transport arrangements.
