London Tube Strike: 4-Day Week Demand

0:00On April 23rd, London 2 drivers are hitting the brakes again, with the second 24-hour strike kicking off at midday Thursday. Members of the rail, maritime and transport union, who cover about half the drivers, are walking out, set to snarl up commutes across the city. Piccadilly and circle lines shut down completely. Metropolitan closes from Baker Street to Allgate, Central Skips Y City to Liverpool Street, and the rest run on a skeleton schedule. Expect packed buses and longer walks for riders. This all stems from drivers rejecting transport for London's voluntary four-day week offer, which cuts hours to 35 from 36, with no. Pay hit. The union pushes for 32-hour week over four days at the same salary, calling TFL's deal short. TFL insists the move is optional, keeps contracts intact, and matches other rail operators labeling the strike totally avoidable. Union Rep Jared Wood says they need better terms to end the fight. More walkouts loom on 23rd to 24th April, 19th to 20th May, 21st to 22nd May, 16th to 17th.
