Strikes are planned for Monday 1 November and Friday 5 November Talks aimed at averting strikes by London’s firefighters were being held on Sunday.
The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) and London Fire Brigade (LFB) were meeting in a bid to avert an eight-hour strike on Monday and a two-day strike starting on Bonfire Night.
The FBU walked out of talks earlier in the week, saying nothing new had been offered in the row over contracts.
But the brigade said compromise was achievable.
Union members are due to walk out from 1000 GMT until 1800 GMT on 1 November and from 1000 GMT on 5 November until 0900 GMT on 7 November.
