LONDON (AP) — Thousands of London Underground staff have started a series of strikes over pay and conditions. The strikes, which began on Sunday, could shut down the subway system used by millions daily. The Rail, Maritime and Transport Union says members, including drivers and maintenance workers, will walk out at various times through Thursday. The transit operator says services were disrupted on Sunday and there are expected to be few or no trains running between Monday and Thursday. The company has offered a 3.4% pay increase, but the union wants a reduction in the working week. No talks are planned, and the union is urging Mayor Sadiq Khan to intervene.
