Revealed: Tube drivers offered four-day week, pay rise and fewer hours a week in return for calling off strike

‘The reduction in working hours makes a real four-day week possible. In every 4-week pay period, you will be working 10 hours and 4 days fewer.’

‘We have been clear throughout the negotiations that we needed an agreement that recognised the unique role of train drivers and that our working hours had fallen behind those of our colleagues.’

‘For the first time ever, this delivers a genuine 35-hour week. All 16,500 Tube staff will receive a deal worth an average of 4.6 per cent.’

‘The offer includes a 3.8 per cent pay rise, plus a £450 lump sum payment, which will be backdated to April 2024.’
