ASLEF Tube drivers have voted to accept Transport for London’s (TfL) four-day week plans that were rejected by RMT union last week.
The TfL proposals deliver 34-hours-per-week rosters, giving drivers an extra day off every week and 4.5 hours fewer at work every week.
Aslef organiser Finn Brennan said: “Despite a campaign of disinformation and distortion by those who want to prevent drivers having improved working conditions and a better work-life balance, our members have voted in favour of the proposal by 70 per cent on an 80 per cent turnout in an independently audited referendum.
“As a majority of members have voted in favour of the proposal, we will now be writing to the company to inform them of the result and to arrange a meeting to start detailed discussions on implementation.”
RMT proposed its own four-day week plan, which would see the number of weekly hours reduced to 32.
TfL was contacted for comment.
