Tube Strikes Over Four-Day Work Week
Description
London’s Tube is bracing for major disruption this week with two full 24-hour strikes scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday, sparked by a proposed four-day workweek for drivers. The RMT union warns of safety risks and fatigue from compressed shifts, while TfL insists the plan is voluntary and designed to improve work-life balance. Meanwhile, many drivers backed by Aslef see it as a win—more days off with minimal changes. Services will be halved, key lines shut down, and schedules shifted. Talks are set for Monday, but tensions remain high as TfL pushes ahead with a pilot on the Bakerloo line.
