Two 24-hour strikes planned by London Underground drivers this week have been called off.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) were due to walk out at 12 noon tomorrow and again on Thursday in a dispute over the working week.
A union spokesperson said: “At the 11th hour the employer has shifted its position allowing us to further explore our members’ concerns around the imposition of new rosters, fatigue and safety issues.
“The dispute is not over and more strike action will follow if we fail to make sufficient progress.”
Strikes scheduled for June 16 and 18 have also been called off, but the union announced new 24-hour strike dates of June 2 and 4 if the dispute remains unresolved.
The union says its members oppose a new four day working week arrangement on the underground.
