London Underground Drivers Plan 6 Strikes Over 4-Day Week

0:00On March 10, London Underground drivers plan 624-hour strikes over the next few months. The action comes from the RMT Union, protesting a push for a four-day working week. The first strike kicks off at noon on March 24 until 11.59am the next day. These strikes follow a pattern, hitting Tuesdays through Wednesdays and Thursdays through Fridays. Expect disruptions on March 26 through 27 April 21 through 22nd and 23rd through 24th. Plus, May 19 through 20th and 21st through 22nd. Union leaders say members already rejected these changes, citing big worries about driver fatigue, safety risks, and work-life balance. Talks dragged on for months without a deal, leaving strikes as the only option. From March 21, drivers are told to avoid using company devices like iPads until further notice. Officials still have a chance to negotiate a fix before the walk-out start. Talks could shift things fast, so commuters should check updates and plan alternate routes as this unfolds.
