London Underground Strikes Cause Travel Chaos

Last week, the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union led strikes on the London Underground, causing significant travel disruption for millions of passengers. The strikes paralyzed tube services, leading to a wave of chaos on the city's roads.

The RMT union, which represents workers on the London Underground, is seeking a cut in the 35-hour working week of its members. Eddie Dempsey, the leader of the RMT, is at the forefront of the negotiations with Transport for London (TfL) over this issue.

The discussions between the RMT and TfL focused on finding a resolution to the dispute that led to the Tube strikes. A spokesperson from TfL discussed ways to help manage fatigue with the RMT, but no specific details about the proposed resolution were disclosed.

The meeting with the RMT took place after a week of chaos in London due to Tube strikes. The strikes caused traffic congestion, leading to a surge in bike crashes in the city.

The RMT has been invited to meet with TfL again on Friday to continue the negotiations. No new information about the 35-hour working week dispute was provided in this paragraph. The dispute talks will resume later in the week, with both parties aiming to find a resolution to end the strikes and restore normal service on the London Underground.
