London Underground drivers begin six 24-hour strikes March 24, 2026, over proposed four-day workweek, citing safety and fatigue concerns.
London Underground tube drivers, represented by the RMT union, are set to begin six 24-hour strikes starting March 24, 2026, over proposed changes to working hours, including a compressed four-day workweek.
The union says the plan, rejected by members in a referendum, raises safety concerns due to increased fatigue and poor work-life balance.
Despite months of negotiations, no agreement has been reached, prompting the walkouts.
The strikes will disrupt the entire network, affecting thousands of commuters, though airport and international services are not expected to be impacted.
The RMT says a resolution is still possible if London Underground agrees to meaningful talks.
