"The mayor has to intervene. He keeps telling us to return to the negotiating table - well, if he invites us to a meeting, we will attend. Our members are not asking for a king's ransom. We want progress towards recognition about the impact of shift work. We are not asking for an immediate drop from a 35-hour week to 32. We have been discussing this since 2018 and we are open to discussions."
"I think Londoners will rightly be fed up with the disruption from Tube strikes ..... as parents try and drop their kids off at school, get to hospital appointments, get to work. We want to see RMT and TfL get back around the table when it comes to these strikes, work together in good faith to resolve this situation in the interests of passengers."
Industrial relations on London Underground have totally collapsed. Thousands of RMT members have walked out in a strike over pay and hours, causing major disruption for commuters and tourists. The union seeks recognition of the impact of shift work and progress on proposals including a move from a 35-hour week toward 32 hours while not demanding an immediate reduction. RMT has called on Mayor Sadiq Khan to intervene and arrange negotiations. A Prime Minister's office statement described Londoners as fed up with the disruption and urged RMT and TfL to resume talks and work in passengers' interests.
