Lea Interchange Bus Company (UNITE) Strike Calendar

There will be travel chaos in London this December and January as 350 bus drivers will walk out in a dispute over union busting and bullying. The drivers, who are members of Unite, work for the Lea Interchange Bus Company (part of Stagecoach) at the Lea Interchange Bus Garage in Leyton, East London. They operate several routes across north east London. Unite representatives at the depot have been the target of aggressive behaviour since a change in management a few months ago. The chair of the branch was suspended, dismissed and then reinstated, while another rep has been suspended on trumped-up charges following an altercation with management. Unite believes the reps are being targeted for undertaking trade union activities, which goes against employment law.
