London Tube strikes: All you need to know

"London Underground services are set to face disruption from Sunday to Thursday as workers walk out in a rolling action over pay and conditions. Members of the Rail, Maritime And Transport union (RMT) are staging the five-day walkout. Here's what you need to know about the industrial action. The walkout will begin on Sunday and carry on until Thursday. Different parts of RMT membership will walk out on different days but it will mean little or no service on all of the Tube. The Tube will open late on Friday, 12 September at 08:00 BST. There is also a separate dispute on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) on Tuesday and Thursday, which will mean no DLR on those days. The Elizabeth line and the Overground will operate as normal but will be much busier, as will the capital's roads."

"RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said: "Our members are doing a fantastic job to keep our capital moving and work strenuous shift patterns to make sure Londoners get to their destinations around the clock. They are not after a King's ransom, but fatigue and extreme shift rotations are serious issues impacting on our members health and wellbeing- all of which have not been adequately addressed for years by London Underground management. Coupled with the fact there are outstanding issues around staff travel arrangements, an atmosphere of distrust has been created, where our members feel like no-one is listening to them.""

"The strike is about pay but also conditions. The RMT union has concerns about "fatigue management" - that is the stress that early and late shifts are having on the health of its members. It has asked for a 32-hour week."

London Underground services will be disrupted by a five-day rolling walkout by RMT members from Sunday through Thursday. Different RMT groups will strike on different days, causing little or no Tube service across the network. The Tube will open late on Friday 12 September at 08:00 BST. Separate DLR disputes will close the Docklands Light Railway on Tuesday and Thursday. The Elizabeth line and Overground will remain in service but are expected to be much busier, and road traffic will increase. The RMT cites pay, fatigue management and extreme shift rotations, and has asked for a 32-hour week. TfL has offered a 3.4% pay rise and says a 32-hour week would be impractical and very costly.
