Strikes planned for tomorrow and Thursday by London Underground drivers have been called off, the RMT union has confirmed.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union previosuly announced that its members were due to walk out for 24 hours from midday on Tuesday 19 May, and again on Thursday 21 May.
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.
