London Underground driver strikes by RMT members are planned for June 2 and June 4, each lasting 24 hours. The dispute involves TfL offering a condensed four-day working week, which the union says would increase fatigue and compromise safety, while TfL says the proposals would be voluntary. Major Underground disruptions are expected during the strike days, with some disruption continuing on the mornings of June 3 and June 5 as services return to normal. TfL states the entire London Overground network will run as usual during the strikes. Overground services are expected to be significantly busier, and interchange access is expected to be reduced at stations that also serve the Underground.
"TfL has said that the entire Overground network will run as usual during the June strikes. However, it's likely to be significantly busier than usual with Londoners swerving the Underground. Interchange access is expected to be reduced at stations which also serve the Underground."
"London Underground drivers who are RMT union members will walk out for 24-hour periods on Tuesday (June 2) and Thursday (June 4). The strikes are part of an ongoing dispute between the union and TfL. The latter is offering a condensed four-day working week, which could mean longer shifts for drivers on the Underground network."
"Some disruption should be expected on the mornings of Wednesday June 3 and Friday June 5 as services get back to normal. Strikes originally planned for later in June have been cancelled. However, unless the dispute is resolved it is likely more industrial action will be announced in the summer."
