The RMT has announced rolling strike action across the tube network and DLR beginning on Friday 5 September for seven days – different grades will take industrial action at differing times. Details:

• Sunday 7 Sept – Track Access Controllers, London Underground Control Centre, Power/Control and ERU members will strike all day.
• Monday 8 Sept – All fleet, engineering, stations and train drivers will strike all day.
• Tuesday 9 Sept – Signallers will strike all day.
• Wednesday 10 Sept – All fleet, engineering, stations and train drivers will strike all day.
• Thursday 11 Sept – Signallers will strike all day.

RMT blames pay and conditions including a lack of movement on “fatigue management, shift patterns and a reduction in the working week.” Pass the sick cup…

DLR staff will strike in the same period. Tube drivers are paid about £68,000.
