A wave of strikes starting on Tuesday by Tube drivers has been suspended by the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT).
Drivers were due to walk out for 24 hours on Tuesday and Thursday, causing several days of disruption, in a dispute over the voluntary introduction of a four-day week with condensed hours.
On Monday, the RMT said “at the 11th hour the employer has shifted its position allowing us to further explore our members concerns around the imposition of new rosters, fatigue and safety issues”.
Transport for London (TfL) described the suspension as “good news for London”. Industrial action on 16 and 18 June has been cancelled but fresh strikes have been called for 2 and 4 June.
