Train Drivers on UK's East Coast Rail Line to Strike on Weekends.

INDUSTRIAL relations; STRIKES & lockouts; RAILROADS; LABOR union members; BULLYING

Train drivers on the East Coast Rail Line in the UK are planning to go on strike every weekend for three months due to a breakdown in industrial relations. The strike, which will take place every Saturday and Sunday between August 31 and November 10, is in response to alleged bullying by management and the breaking of agreements by LNER, the rail company. This strike is separate from the national pay dispute involving 16 rail companies, which may be resolved with a new pay offer from the Department for Transport. [Extracted from the article]
