Story summary

RMT union announced eight 24-hour strikes by London Underground train drivers between November 26, 2026, and February 25, 2027. The strikes aim to protest against plans for a four-day working week that the union claims undermines existing protections for workers. Strikes are scheduled on specific dates including Christmas period days: December 17, 19; January 4, 6; and February 17, 23, 25. Eddie Dempsey, RMT general secretary, argues these changes force drivers to give up job protections without voluntariness. The proposed new arrangements include longer shifts and electronic booking systems. Business leaders have criticized the timing of the strikes, especially those scheduled during critical shopping days before Christmas.
