FirstGroup to face US union protest

A group of school bus drivers from the US will travel to Britain this week to call on employers FirstGroup to end what they call the company's "anti-union tactics". The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the union that represents thousands of drivers with FirstGroup subsidiary First Student, claims there have been cases where members have been subjected to harassment and intimidation by company bosses... FirstGroup has strongly denied any anti-union behaviour.
