London tube drivers to hold 8 days of strikes over winter
The walkouts could disrupt 3 million to 4 million Tube यात्रengers a day as the union warns proposed changes would worsen conditions and cut jobs.
- The Rail, Maritime and Transport union announced London Underground drivers will stage eight 24-hour strikes beginning November 26, extending through late February. The walkouts stem from a long-running dispute over proposed changes to working arrangements.
- RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey characterized the proposal as a 'wholesale attack on drivers' working conditions,' claiming it forces longer, unpredictable shifts and threatens depot displacement. Management asserts the four-day week is entirely voluntary.
- Finn Brennan, Aslef's full-time organiser on London Underground, defended the plan, stating it offers drivers an extra 35 days off annually based on a 34-hour week. Aslef emphasized staff can retain five-day schedules without detriment.
- Londoners and visitors face travel disruption during the vital Christmas trading season, with the Tube serving between 3 million and 4 million passengers daily. Business leaders warned the industrial action will hit sectors relying on reliable transit.
- The eight 24-hour walkouts are scheduled for November 26, December 17 and 19, January 4 and 6, and February 17, 23 and 25. The RMT continues demanding a 32-hour week over four days, signaling a prolonged standoff.
