## Resource

Londoners brace for major Tube chaos this week as the RMT union plans two full-day strikes on June 2nd and 4th over a disputed four-day workweek for drivers. While TfL insists its position hasn’t changed and the trial on the Bakerloo line is still ongoing, the union’s stance remains firm — despite ASLEF already agreeing to the new schedule. Expect major disruptions, including full closures on Piccadilly and Circle lines, with key routes like the Metropolitan and Central also affected. Talks continue, but with tensions high and no resolution in sight, commuters brace for delays and cancellations as the standoff deepens.
