DIAL-A-RIDE workers will begin a second series of strikes today after attempts to resolve their dispute with management failed.

The 120 workers, who provide specialist transport for elderly and vulnerable people and those with disabilities on behalf of Transport for London (TfL), have been forced into strike action over the withdrawal of rest days and imposition of new rosters.

The workforce have said that plans to remove 10 rest days a year and impose “impossible” rosters risks “turning them into robots.”
