SEVEN days of strike action will hit the London Underground beginning tomorrow – causing travel chaos for millions of people.
The strike – set to begin on Friday, September 5, comes after a breakdown in talks between Tube union RMT and network management over pay and other demands.
Strikers also cite “fatigue management, extreme shift patterns and a reduction in the working week, as well as failing to honour previous agreements made with staff”.
RMT General Secretary Eddie Dempsey said: “Our members are doing a fantastic job to keep our capital moving and work strenuous shift patterns to make sure Londoners get to their destinations around the clock.
“They are not after a King’s ransom, but fatigue and extreme shift rotations are serious issues impacting on our members health and wellbeing- all of which have not been adequately addressed for years by LU management.
“Coupled with the fact there are outstanding issues around staff travel arrangements, an atmosphere of distrust has been created, where our members feel like no one is listening to them.
“RMT will continue to engage LU management with a view to seeking a revised offer in order to reach a negotiated settlement.”
