London Underground drivers will stage several strikes across March, April, and May in a dispute over proposed changes to working patterns. The Rail, Maritime and Transport union is protesting Transport for London plans to introduce a compressed four-day week, citing concerns about driver fatigue and passenger safety. Transport for London maintains the changes would be voluntary and initially piloted on the Bakerloo line. Meanwhile, business leaders warn the upcoming disruption will harm the capital's hospitality and retail sectors.
