London Underground workers will be balloted for strikes over 750 job cuts and ticket office closures.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said it would "fight" against the plans for all ticket offices to close.
London Underground (LU) said customers and staff were at the centre of improvements to the Tube.
The RMT has to hold a two-week ballot and give Transport for London seven days' notice before any strike action takes place.
'Devastating impact'Ticket office closures and plans for 24-hour services were announced last week by London Mayor Boris Johnson last week.
The plans involve the loss of 750 jobs, although London Underground said it would seek to avoid compulsory redundancies.
RMT general secretary Bob Crow said: "It is absolutely clear that the attack on staffing levels and passenger services would have a devastating impact on Tube safety, with assaults and thefts soaring through the roof.
"It is also clear that the most vulnerable members of our society would be most at risk when it comes to both violence and access to Tube services.
"As a result, RMT can confirm that the union will be serving notice today for a ballot for both strike action and action short of a strike with the ballot closing in January."
