Latest Updates (4)

Tube union RMT, today announced rolling strike action across the network beginning on Friday 5th September for seven days, with different grades taking industrial action at differing times. The strikes come after management refused to engage seriously with union demands on pay, fatigue management, extreme shift patterns and a reduction in the working week, as well as failing to honour previous agreements made with staff. RMT says that management’s dismissive approach has fuelled widespread anger and distrust among the workforce, who voted in overwhelming numbers to take strike action. In a separate dispute over pay and conditions, workers on the Docklands Light Railway will also be striking during this period in the week beginning the 7 September, bringing significant disruption to the capital’s transport network.

MTR Elizabeth Line and Rail for London Infrastructure (RFLI) workers are taking strike action today in disputes over pay, working conditions, and safety concerns. Control Room staff at MTR Elizabeth Line will strike from 9:00 PM on December 31, 2024, to 8:59 PM on January 1, 2025, after rejecting the latest pay offer. The union is demanding improved holiday entitlements and reductions in working hours.

"Following intense negotiations with London Underground management and a significantly improved offer, we have suspended the strikes scheduled to start this evening. "London Underground have sensibly abandoned their proposed changes to pay structures which now means all our members will receive the same value in any pay award.

RMT members on London Underground will take strike action after rejecting a pay offer deemed wholly inadequate. While some progress was made in negotiations, the current proposal leaves a large number of staff excluded from collective bargaining, which remains a core issue for the union.

“We have repeatedly urged London Underground to offer a deal that ensures all staff are covered by collective bargaining, yet management remains fixated on imposing pay structures without our agreement. "Our members have been left with no choice but to take strike action to defend their terms and conditions. “We remain open to negotiations, but London Underground must come back to the table with a comprehensive, consolidated offer that respects the rights of all our members. Until then, our industrial action will continue as planned.”
