"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 LU 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. RMT will continue to engage LU management with a view to seeking a revised offer in order to reach a negotiated settlement."
"The strikes come after management refused to engage seriously with union demands on pay, fatigue management, extreme shift patterns and a reduction in the working week, as well as failing to honour previous agreements made with staff."
RMT has announced a series of strikes that will bring London to a standstill. London Underground and Docklands Light Railway workers will walk out over pay and conditions. The union warned the two strikes will cause significant disruption to the capital's transport network. Management refused to engage seriously with union demands on pay, fatigue management, extreme shift patterns and a reduction in the working week, and failed to honour previous agreements with staff. Members face fatigue and extreme shift rotations that impact health and wellbeing, alongside unresolved staff travel arrangements and an atmosphere of distrust. RMT will continue to engage management to seek a revised offer and a negotiated settlement.
