RMT union members will stage a week-long period of industrial action on London Underground and DLR services beginning September 5. Different staff groups will strike on specific days, including depot operational control managers, track access controllers, power/control and ERU members, signallers, service control, fleet, engineering, stations and trains staff. Some actions run full 12.01am–11.59pm days while the depot managers' action runs from 6pm on September 5 to 5.59pm on September 7. Stated reasons include pay demands, shift patterns and alleged failures to honour prior agreements. The DLR faces separate but related walkouts.
And just like that, London's recent, blissfully strike-free period on the tube is coming to an end. Today (August 21) the RMT union has announced a week-long period of industrial action on the capital's transport network, starting in the first week of September. RMT staff will strike over a range of reasons, including pay demands, shift patterns and apparent failures to honour previous agreements. What's more is that it won't just be the tube that'll be hit by strikes: DLR workers will also walk out as part of a separate dispute.
Friday September 5 to Sunday September 7 - depot operational control managers at Ruislip will walk out from 6pm on September 5 to 5.59pm on September 7. Sunday September 7 - track access controllers, London Underground control centre, power/control and ERU members will strike from 12.01am to 11.59pm. Monday September 8 - all fleet (except engineering vehicles operations and maintenance and ERU), plus engineering, stations and trains members will walk out. Strike from 12.01am to 11.59pm.
