"We have approached negotiations with TfL in good faith throughout this entire process, but despite our best efforts, TfL seem unwilling to make any concessions in a bid to avert strike action. This is extremely disappointing and has baffled our negotiators."
"The approach of TfL is not one which leads to industrial peace and will infuriate our members who want to see a negotiated settlement to this avoidable dispute."
"Nobody wants to see strike action which has a serious impact on Londoners, businesses and commuters. The Mayor continues to urge the RMT and TfL to get around the table to resolve this matter and call off this planned strike action."
"The proposal delivers 34-hours a week rosters, giving drivers an extra day off every week and 4 hours fewer at work every week."
The Rail, Maritime and Transport union confirmed a 24-hour strike starting Tuesday, accusing Transport for London of imposing a four-day working week. TfL claims the new schedule is voluntary, but the RMT insists negotiations have failed. Further strikes are anticipated in May and June. RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey expressed disappointment over TfL's unwillingness to negotiate. The Mayor of London urges both parties to resolve the issue to avoid disruption. The Aslef union accepted the four-day week proposal, which offers reduced hours for drivers, contrasting with RMT's stance.
