TUBE UNION RMT today confirmed strike action every weekend on the Night Tube from the start of the New Year through to June in an on-going fight to prevent the ripping up of staffing arrangements that would wreck the work life balance of drivers.
RMT members on the Central and Victoria Lines will be taking strike action as follows:From Friday 7/1/22 until further notice, not booking on for any duties commencing from 20:30 on any Friday until 08:00 the next day and not booking on for any duties commencing from 20:30 on any Saturday until 08:00 the next day.
The union has made it clear that the mandate extends to other lines and will consider broadening the action if LU fail to respond.
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said;
“If London Underground and the Mayor thought this fight for progressive and family friendly working practices was going away they need to think again.
“Our members have been reballoted and have delivered a solid mandate for action and its the failure of LU and Sadiq Khan to address the grievances at the heart of the dispute that leaves us no option but to confirm the programme of action today.
“RMT has repeatedly put forward cost neutral proposals that would repair the damage unleashed by deleting 200 driver posts and which would dig LU out of this mess. They have ignored us and that approach will have severe consequences for Londoners in the New Year.
“We remain available for further talks.”
