London Underground users will not face planned disruption this week after strike action was cancelled by the RMT union. Its drivers called off industrial action following last-minute talks, as the employer shifted its position on new rosters, fatigue, and safety issues. This includes walk-outs previously set for Tuesday 19 May, Thursday 21 May, and scheduled dates in mid-June.
