00:00In the United Kingdom, the London subway workers' strike against the proposed longer work shift has entered its fourth day.
00:07The strike, which began on May 21st and has had two 24-hour stoppages, is in protest against the London
00:16Transport Authority's proposal to introduce a compressed working week system.
00:20The reform seeks to reduce the labor days to four instead of five, but proposes increased daily hours, which workers
00:26argue would lead to driver fatigue and endangered safety standards.
00:30Approximately half of the drivers participating in the strike are affiliated with the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union.
