RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said the union had "forced management into a position where they are now willing to seriously engage with the issues our members want addressing. Further talks will take place and the dispute remains live".
London Underground is trying to force through major changes to working patterns that have already been rejected by our members. We are clear that these proposals raise serious concerns around fatigue, safety and work-life balance. There is still time to avoid industrial action, but we will take strike action if we cannot get a negotiated settlement.
