The strikes were announced following Aslef's and RMT's vote in favor of industrial action for better pay, despite TfL's revised offer of a 4.6% increase.
TfL commissioner Andy Lord expressed disappointment over the strikes by Aslef and RMT, emphasizing that the revised pay offer recognizes hard work and supports the lowest paid.
Lord acknowledged that the 4.6% pay increase was in line with national rail agreements but urged unions to prioritize working with TfL to prevent damaging strikes.
The unions' choice to keep the ballot results undisclosed, until contacted, hints at the possibility of using the strike threat as a negotiation tactic.
