London Underground driver strikes, Digi Mart USA News (London, United Kingdom): London Underground drivers are set to stage a series of 24-hour strikes in a dispute over working arrangements, according to an announcement from the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union.
The walkouts will begin on 26 November and are opposed to plans to introduce four-day working weeks. Further strikes are planned for 17 December, 19 December, 4 January, 6 January, 17 February, 23 February and 25 February.
The union says drivers will face longer hours behind the wheel and longer days under the proposal. Transport for London (TfL), however, said its four-day working week proposal is voluntary and would mean drivers work fewer hours overall.
