"London Underground is trying to force through major changes to working patterns that have already been rejected by our members. We are clear that these proposals raise serious concerns around fatigue, safety and work-life balance. Despite our best efforts over many months, no satisfactory outcome has been reached so we have no choice but to call strike dates."
"There is still time for London Underground to come up with a workable solution but we will take strike action if we cannot get a negotiated settlement."
The RMT union has announced six days of strike action on the London Underground, with train drivers striking twice monthly from March through May. The dispute centers on Transport for London's proposal to implement a four-day working week for drivers, requiring longer daily shifts. RMT members strongly oppose this plan, citing concerns about fatigue, safety, and work-life balance, while the rival ASLEF union supports it. The strikes will cause significant disruption to London commuters and major events, including a UEFA Women's Champions League match at Emirates Stadium. RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey stated negotiations have failed and strike action will proceed unless a satisfactory resolution is reached.
