There is nothing about this on the Unite web site that I can see anyway,
which does not mean it is not true (the lawsuit).

But if it were more than rumor, one might think Unite would announce it on their web site in "latest news?"

But maybe not...guess what I'm saying is perhaps this is just a rumor?
BA 'bully' bosses axe fare cuts for strikers - mirror.co.uk
So it might still be a rumour

.............."A spokesman said: "This is a non-contractual perk that we can withdraw at our discretion."
Unite, battling the airline's boss Willie Walsh over job cuts and changes to working practices, said it will fight for reinstatement of the perks - seen as a "custom and practice" part of the job.
An official added: "This demonstrates BA's bullying and contemptuous approach to employees."

A long-running holiday pay dispute between BA and its pilots was referred to the European Court of Justice yesterday.

Was this the "refer to high court" rumour that got misquoted?
