British Airways cabin crew union “UNITE” is in London’s High Court to challenge a ruling that blocked a new wave of walkouts by the airline’s staff as peace talks between BA and the union continue.
"We are at the court now seeking leave to appeal," a Unite spokeswoman said. "If we secure that, then we will move to appeal as soon as the court grants time — this may be today (Tuesday) but it may not be. It’s a waiting game at the moment."
BA on Monday won a legal bid to block a threatened five-day strike by cabin crew members. The first of four five-day walkouts had been due to begin at midnight, but will now not go ahead as planned. The airline’s lawyers argued that Unite had broken the law on a technicality over the way it had conducted the strike ballot. A BA spokeswoman said it still hoped for an "early and peaceful end" to the dispute and that "talks (with Unite) would continue throughout the week".
