The RMT general secretary Mike Cash says he has “informed London Underground that the union remains available for talks to resolve this matter.”
He added that “RMT representatives will not be treated with contempt by a management that says it has reached an agreement only for them to rip up such agreements when the talks have concluded.”
A TfL spokesperson said: “We have been making progress with the RMT on these issues and are disappointed they have chosen to call this action without notice. We have outlined a number of steps that we are taking and have been keeping the union updated throughout. We urge them to continue working with us to solve these issues rather than disrupt Londoners with strike action.”
