Tube drivers strike over four-day week offer
Tube strikes caused major disruption for millions of London commuters because of a dispute over a four-day workweek. The RMT union's refusal of a voluntary shorter workweek led to a two-day strike by its members in June 2026. Most drivers were set to experience a reduction in their working week, from 36 to 35 hours, according to the proposed terms.
