Vouchers worth £25 have been given to Tube staff who worked during this month's strike.
Staff had walked out earlier this months in protest at London Underground (LU) plans to close all of its networks ticket offices, with the lose of 950 jobs.
LU reported that staff who worked during the strike have been awarded a £25 gift vouched for each shift they covered, "by way of a thank you".
The TSSA union however have dismissed the move as "gesture politics" saying that it was a waste of public money.
