The RMT union has announced two 48-hour strikes on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in a dispute over pay and working conditions. The union said there has been a "total breakdown of industrial relations" between staff and the operator Serco. The first strike will begin on 29 January. The second will start on 4 February and coincide with the first of two 48-hour strikes on the Underground.
