Bus workers to be balloted over bullying claims

    Bus workers in Yorkshire are to be balloted for strike action amidst claims of a “bullying culture”.

    Unite the union said its members working for First Group will be balloted unless there is a "dramatic U-turn" in industrial relations.

    It is alleged there is “a bullying culture that certain managers have contributed to in recent years.”

    The union is demanding the reinstatement of two of its senior reps it said were sacked after "trumped-up" allegations.
