"Out and about in east London next weekend? Watch out, you might have to navigate strike action. Hundreds of bus drivers will walk out, impacting over a dozen routes mostly in east and northeast London. Travel in and around prime Christmas shopping destination Stratford will be significantly affected. The striking drivers all work for the Lea Interchange Bus Company, which is part of Stagecoach, and they're all represented by the Unite union."
"A total of 350 drivers will walk out, with Unite alleging that Lea Interchange Bus Company has been engaging in union busting, bullying and aggressive behaviour. Unite says that union reps are being targeted for undertaking trade union activities. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: 'Unite will never stand idly by when an employer uses union busting and bullying tactics. 'Management at the depot must change tack or face disruptive action. Unite members at the Lea Interchange Bus Company have the union's full support.'"
