While E scooters and micro mobility movement is inherantly indiviual and generally undermine the transport union's power. The trade unions naturally have waded in to say that E scooters should be taken off the network.

Tube worker unions say they have been warning TfL about the dangers of e-scooters across the network but have not seen any action being taken. While these fires have been rare and small. The unions want to see them banned. Further reducing the role of micro mobility movement in the capital.
