RMT confirms new wave of strike action by Tube drivers over imposition of rosters

A NEW wave of strike action by London Underground (LU) drivers against the “outrageous” imposition of new working rosters was confirmed by their union RMT today. 

The move follows an overwhelming vote for walkouts by Metropolitan Line workers based at the Neasden Depot in the north-west of the capital.

Members have been asked not to book on for any shifts for 24 hours from 11.30am on Thursdays January 20 and February 10.
