Train drivers on UK’s East Coast Rail Line to strike on weekends
by Bloomberg Aug 19, 2024
Train drivers working for the rail line between London and Edinburgh plan to walk out every weekend for three months after a breakdown in industrial relations.
LNER workers plan to strike every Saturday and Sunday between August 31 and November 10, according to an emailed statement from Aslef, a rail union. The union cited “bullying by management” and the breaking of agreements by LNER among the reasons for the strikes. LNER did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The action is separate from the national pay dispute involving 16 rail companies. That dispute could reach a conclusion following a new pay offer from the Department for Transport on Wednesday, which will be voted on by union members.
