In London, the Aslef and RMT unions have begun the first of three 24-hour strikes that are scheduled to happen. The workers, who are employed by the London Underground, claim that they went on strike over concerns for the safety of the older Piccadilly Line. The Piccadilly Line is the only one that connects passengers to Heathrow airport, however there are alternative services available to travelers such as buses. The RMT union has also scheduled two additional strikes that will occur on April 19th and April 21st.
