Unite challenges BA

British Airways will face a legal challenge from the Unite general union over the airline’s decision to remove staff travel concessions from cabin crew who took lawful strike action in the course of the dispute with the company this year.

The union believes that management’s action breaches European human rights legislation. It also believes that this sanction — which has impeded the resolution of the long-running dispute — was taken without proper disciplinary procedures being followed.
