How this resolves

"Deal agreed" resolves on a joint or RMT statement confirming the four-day week dispute is settled; TfL's tfl.gov.uk/campaign/strikes page is the tiebreak source of truth.

The pattern behind it

3 of 5
Three of the last five major RMT Underground disputes produced further strike dates after an initial round or suspension. Two settled without another walkout. The pattern is genuinely split — it leans towards more action, but a quiet settlement is far from rare.

We looked at the five major RMT disputes on the Underground since 2015 and asked whether each came back with new strike dates after its first round or a pause. They fall into two groups. Some ended after one round or a late offer. Others kept producing new strike dates until a deal was reached. Two of the five, in 2022 and 2023, were rounds of the same dispute over pensions and jobs.
