More dates have been announced for London Underground strike action this month
Tube drivers are taking the action in a dispute over pensions and working condition changes, ASLEF said.
It added that Transport for London , Tube workers' employer, is changing sickness practices, classifying anything longer than a week as long-term."Their aim is an entirely flexible workforce with all existing agreements replaced - allowing them to cut hundreds more jobs and forcing those of us who remain to work harder for longer," Mr Brennan said.
"We are urging both unions to reconsider this action and engage with us to discuss the issues and seek a resolution."There are no current proposals to change pension arrangements and, although we are discussing with union colleagues a range of proposals to improve how London Underground operates, no employee will lose their job or be asked to work additional hours," Mr Barton said.
