"Members of the union will walk out at midday on 24 and 26 March, 21 and 23 April, as well as 19 and 21 May. The RMT said its members are taking action because transport bosses are pushing ahead with a plan to compress a normal working week into four days, despite the proposals being rejected by a majority of train operators in a referendum."
"The union said its members have concerns about shift lengths, working time arrangements, transfer and allocation processes, and the potential impact on fatigue and safety. In response, Transport for London (TfL) said the proposed four-day working week would be for train drivers on the Bakerloo line only, adding that the changes to working patterns would be voluntary."
The RMT union announced a series of 24-hour strikes by London Underground drivers scheduled for March, April, and May. The strikes are in response to transport management's plan to compress a normal working week into four days, which was rejected by a majority of train operators in a referendum. Union members cite concerns about shift lengths, working time arrangements, transfer and allocation processes, and potential impacts on fatigue and safety. Transport for London countered that the four-day working week proposal applies only to Bakerloo line train drivers and would be voluntary, urging the union to cancel the planned strikes.
