RMT suspends Underground strikes

The RMT has suspended this week’s Underground strikes, after talks with Transport for London about a four-day working week made progress.

However, although the 24-hour strikes of drivers which had been planned to start at 12.00 on 19 and 21 May, and also on 16 and 18 June have been suspended, new walkouts have been announced for 2 and 4 June.

The RMT said: ’At the eleventh hour the employer has shifted its position allowing us to further explore our members’ concerns around the imposition of new rosters, fatigue and safety issues.

‘The dispute is not over and more strike action will follow if we fail to make sufficient progress.’
