Commuters walk over Waterloo bridge in central London, on November 3, 2010, as an underground strike affects London's workforce. A fresh strike by thousands of staff on London's Underground rail network prompted many commuters to stay at home Wednesday, while millions of others faced long delays to get to work. Some 11,000 members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers' Union (RMT) and the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) were taking industrial action in protest at job cuts on the network.
