Staff Travel
Unite's lawyers have written to BA on behalf of all individual members of cabin crew who currently have, or who at some future date, may have their travel concession withdrawn as a result of taking part in lawful industrial action.
The union's letter states that this disciplinary sanction was imposed in flagrant disregard for the company's own internal disciplinary procedure EG901. Furthermore, we are exploring the potential contractual nature of staff travel.
The union goes on to argue that by ignoring the procedure staff were denied the opportunity to establish the facts, to state their case and challenge BA's action. Furthermore withdrawing staff travel concessions as a sanction against exercising a right to strike is potentially a breach of the European Convention of Human Rights.The union is demanding an immediate response from BA on these issues.
My Bold - they should tread careful here, tax liability could be the result of this one, and that would hurt, lots.
