London Tube Drivers Call Off Strikes

London Tube Drivers Call Off Strikes

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.
