Members of Aslef will walk out on every Friday between March 7 and April 25 and every Saturday between March 8 and April 26, after previously voting overwhelmingly to take industrial action.
Mick Whelan, Aslef’s general secretary, said: “The company’s failure to act responsibly has impacts not just for rail workers and passengers at Hull Trains but right across the wider rail industry.
“Anyone who works on the railway should be able to report a safety concern without fearing they will be penalised, punished, or lose their livelihood.”.
The union said the driver had been unfairly dismissed after raising a safety concern, which the company denies.
Drivers at Hull Trains are to stage a series of strikes in a dispute over the sacking of a colleague.
