Is there a reliable source online to find out when there will be industrial action on any given route?

I am particularly interested in:
From Leicester to Birmingham Airport Friday 16th August
From Leicester to London Tuesday 20th August
From London to Leicester Saturday 24th August
From Birmingham Airport to Leicester 25th August

Many thanks for any help

The reliable source is the EMT website. This refers to strikes on Saturdays 3 and 17 August, and says that London services are unaffected.

However, London trains on Saturday 24 will be very busy because of engineering work on other routes.

Two weeks notice has to be given for any industrial action, so it's too early for anyone to know yet.

Many thanks 30907 and Haywain. Much appreciated. Though the first journey I mention is on the 16th August which is less than 2 weeks away. Is there anyway to check that is running ok? Thanks

No there isn't. You can only go on the pattern so far, which is: Saturdays only, and non-MML services only.
