Surely the first stage for any BA employee is to raise the thing as a grievance through the internal system.
My understanding is that courts tend to only want to look at something like this after any established process has already been exhausted.
Courts seem to be unhappy of anyone going straight to litigation.
Has Bassa/Unite started/prompted/supported this route yet.
If not then are BA's legal team not likely to simply point this out and suggest the court refuse to consider until other options are exhausted?
To me the key is going to be how a court (if it gets there) will consider the "perk".
Is it the company making a legitimate removal of it's goodwill towards employees who have clearly demonstrated their withdrawal of goodwill towards the company.
Or is it an effort to punish for taking industrial action.
Any court delivers "the law" as it's written .... not "justice" .....
