中新社伦敦6月2日电(记者 欧阳开宇)英国伦敦地铁2日遭遇新一轮大规模罢工，多条线路停运、大面积延误，叠加阴雨天气，全城通勤秩序陷入混乱，市民与游客出行严重受阻。
本次罢工由英国铁路、海事和运输工会发起，争端围绕地铁司机每周35小时四天工作制改革及岗位安全保障问题展开。工会指认伦敦交通局未就工时调整、安全隐患等诉求给出明确保障方案，因此采取停工行动。
受罢工冲击，伦敦地铁环线、滑铁卢及城市线全线停运，多条主干线路部分停运或严重延误。伦敦交通局数据显示，当日早高峰地铁运力仅维持半数，截至上午10时客流降幅达43%。阴雨天气迫使大量民众改乘巴士、出租车，市区道路拥堵加剧，不少不知情游客行程被打乱。
此次罢工引发民众态度两极分化。有家长投诉拥堵车流险些耽误子女重要升学考试，批评罢工拖累普通民众生活；也有市民认可司机工时与安全维权诉求，表示愿意包容短期出行不便。
伦敦市长萨迪克·汗批评此次罢工是沟通失效的结果，指出停工造成民生、商业、公共服务多重损失，呼吁劳资双方尽快重启谈判。伦敦交通局已公开致歉，并表示愿磋商解决工时改革争议，工会亦表态可开展实质性对话。
据悉，工会已敲定6月4日全天24小时罢工，伦敦公共交通或将再度陷入瘫痪状态。(完)
