Members of the train drivers’ union Aslef will take industrial action on Thursday 27 February, Saturday 1 March, Saturday 8 March and Monday 10 March.
The union’s general secretary, Mick Whelan, said: “Our members have been instrumental in the success of the Elizabeth line – it’s a partnership, in practice, between the company and its employees – but, despite our best efforts, MTR has decided not to recognise the input, the importance, and the value of train drivers in this success.”.
Members of Aslef union plan action beginning on 27 February in dispute over pay.
Train drivers on the Elizabeth line are to strike on four separate days over the coming weeks in a dispute over pay.
Virtually all drivers on the line are in the union, and voted overwhelmingly for industrial action.
