It's the latest round of walkouts
0:01
[snorts] over an ongoing dispute about
0:03
the four-day week. And note, it's not a
0:05
campaign for the four-day week, it's in
0:07
rejection [laughter] to an offer for the
0:09
four-day week, uh which I would
0:10
personally snap up if offered. But the
0:12
RMT union, which represents roughly half
0:15
of tube workers, has rejected it.
0:18
>> You should be frankly incredibly
0:20
insulted that this is all happening
0:22
because these RMT union train drivers
0:25
are rejecting an offer for four-day
0:26
week. And let's be clear, this is a
0:28
voluntary contract. Nobody is being
0:29
forced to take on this contract. Now,
0:31
there are claims that somehow working a
0:34
slightly longer shift, but over overall
0:36
>> It's worth I think it would be a
0:38
compression of a 36-hour week into four
0:40
shifts, which would be nine-hour days,
0:42
which is pretty standard hours.
0:44
>> that that this is a danger of fatigue.
0:45
I'm sorry, if you're a city worker who
0:46
possibly works 18-hour days, again, this
0:49
is a massive slap in the face.
