The RMT said it has offered to suspend the strike during talks, but accused TfL of rejecting its proposals.
General secretary Mick Lynch said: "TfL have missed a golden opportunity to make progress in these negotiations and avoid strike action.
"Our members are resolute in their determination to see a just settlement to this dispute, and they will continue their industrial campaign for as long as it takes."
More than 1,000 Unite members will be on strike.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch previously said bosses had missed a "golden opportunity" to stop the strike and union members were left with "no choice". Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "TfL is needlessly attacking our members' pay and pensions, which Unite simply can't accept.
TfL said it had "wanted to come to an agreement" but "the proposals that were made were not possible to deliver". "The workers have the full support of their union in fighting these attacks. TfL must stop behaving like a race-to-the-bottom employer and put forward an offer that is acceptable to our members."
Glynn Barton, TfL's chief operating officer, said no proposals to change pensions or conditions had been made.
TfL's recent funding agreement with the government required it to develop options around pensions, but the organisation said if changes are to be made, there would be consultations and further work before any decisions are made.
