London Underground planned tube strikes by drivers in London this week have been called off, the RMT union has announced.
The union said the two 24-hour stoppages from midday on Tuesday, which were set to disrupt travel over four days this week, had been suspended.
An RMT 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 had also been scheduled for 16 and 18 June, which have now been changed to Tuesday 2 June, and Thursday, 4 June, should the differences over a planned four-day week not be resolved.
