RMT Union Strikes Disrupt London Underground and DLR Services
2025-08-05 21:05

The RMT union's strike has severely disrupted London Underground and Docklands Light Railway (DLR) services, causing significant travel issues in the city. The union rejected a 3.4% pay offer and is demanding a reduction in its members' 35-hour workweek, which Transport for London (TfL) deems unaffordable. This marks the fifth day of the strike, with the DLR also facing a separate industrial action by the RMT. RMT General Secretary Eddie Dempsey called for a summit with London Mayor Sadiq Khan to resolve the ongoing dispute and warned of further strike action if no resolution is reached.
