MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Members of Britain's National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) will organize another strike on Saturday night over what they say is the unfair dismissal of a driver on the London Underground, who failed two alcohol breath tests, Leading Britain's Conversation radio said Monday.
The RMT is striking at night, between 21:30 GMT March 7 and 3:59 GMT March 8. The late time of the strike means that the union does not expect to achieve significant results, the radio station said.

A previous RMT strike over the case was held in December.
The union accused London Underground of not taking into consideration the fact that the dismissed man has diabetes, a health condition that could directly affect the test results.
London Underground has rejected the accusations, noting that the authorities have "zero tolerance towards drugs and alcohol."
