"RMT drivers are striking over a proposal to condense the working week into four days, resulting in changing shift patterns. A representative from RMT said: 'Our members will not accept TfL's plan to condense the working week for tube drivers where shift patterns will become unpredictable leading to fatigue and increasing safety risks.'"
"'A majority of tube drivers when asked have rejected these proposals. And our members are prepared to take industrial action if there is no change in course by TfL.'"
RMT drivers will strike for six 24-hour periods in April, May, and June, starting April 21. The strikes will only affect the Underground, while the Elizabeth line, DLR, and Overground will continue to operate. RMT drivers are protesting against a proposal to condense the working week into four days, which they believe will lead to unpredictable shift patterns and increased safety risks. A representative stated that the majority of tube drivers have rejected these proposals and are prepared for industrial action if changes are not made.
