Tube drivers threatening to strike if 'bosses refuse to pay them £76k'

London Underground drivers are threatening to go on strike if 'bosses refuse to pay them £76,000 a year'.

The RMT trade union is allegedly urging members to take action if Transport for London (TfL) does not offer them a pay rise of 4.5 per cent.

If accepted, salaries for drivers would raise to £76,127, more than twice the average annual salary.

Currently, most tube drivers make around £72,000 a year, which is already close to double the average salary of £37,500, according to the Office for National Statistics.

TfL has reportedly offered Tube drivers a 2.8 per cent pay rise.
