"Our members will not accept TfL's plan to condense the working week for Tube drivers where shift patterns will be become unpredictable leading to fatigue and increasing safety risks."
"We have started talking with our unions about how to implement a four-day working week for train drivers on the Bakerloo line only. The changes will be voluntary, there will be no reduction in contractual hours, and those who wish to continue a five-day working week pattern will be able to do so."
"A majority of Tube drivers when asked have rejected these proposals. And our members are prepared to take industrial action if there is no change in course by TfL."
RMT union members representing London Underground drivers have voted to support strike action against Transport for London's proposal to introduce a four-day working week. The union opposes the plan, arguing that condensing work into fewer days will create unpredictable shift patterns leading to driver fatigue and safety risks. TfL maintains the change would be voluntary with no reduction in contractual hours and would improve service reliability at no additional cost. The union states a majority of drivers rejected the proposals and members are prepared for industrial action if TfL does not change course. RMT must provide two weeks' notice before implementing any strikes.
