"RMT members are striking primarily over the introduction of a four-day working week, which the union says could increase fatigue and compromise safety, although TfL maintains the changes are voluntary and has described the strikes as completely unnecessary."
"No service is expected on the Piccadilly and Circle lines during these periods. There will also be partial closures on the Central line between White City and Liverpool Street and on the Metropolitan Line between Baker Street and Aldgate."
"Despite the disruption, TfL anticipates a less severe impact on commuters than September's strikes, as drivers from the ASLEF union and non-driver members of the RMT union are not taking part in the strike."
Drivers from the RMT union will strike for 24 hours on April 21 and 23, leading to major disruptions on the London Underground. No service is expected on the Piccadilly and Circle lines, with partial closures on the Central and Metropolitan lines. TfL anticipates overcrowding as passengers seek alternative routes. The strikes are in response to proposed changes to working conditions, including a four-day workweek, which the union argues could compromise safety. Additional strikes are planned for May 19 and 21, coinciding with bus station and network traffic controller walkouts.
