Tube union RMT, have suspended strikes this month following progress in talks with London Underground management.
The dispute over the imposition of a condensed hours four-day week on tube drivers is far from over but LU management have taken steps in the right direction and are now taking the matter seriously.
After a year of telling us their imposed plan is non-negotiable they have now agreed to negotiate with RMT.
Further talks are planned in the coming days and weeks to try and reach a negotiated settlement.
All other strike dates from April onwards remain in place and additional strike action on 16 and 18 June has been put in place.
RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said: “Through our show of industrial strength and unity, we have 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.”
