London Tube drivers will begin a series of 24-hour strikes later this month over planned changes to their working hours, the RMT union says.
The first of six announced strikes will begin on March 24.
The dispute centres around a plan to compress drivers’ working week into four days, which the union says is a safety risk.
“We are clear that these proposals raise serious concerns around fatigue, safety and work-life balance,” RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said.
“There is still time for London Underground to come up with a workable solution but we will take strike action if we cannot get a negotiated settlement.”
