The British Airways cabin crew dispute is set to return to the courts. The Unite union said it will lodge an appeal at the high court this week over the withdrawal of travel concessions for almost 7,000 of its members who went on strike earlier this year.
Unite said it also expected to lodge an appeal in the European court of human rights by the end of the month, challenging the government to "put its house in order" over balloting for industrial action.
Unite has faced legal action by BA over previous industrial action ballots, complaining that it faced an injunction because fewer than a dozen ballot papers were spoilt out of thousands of members who voted to go on strike.
In a third legal move, Unite said it will take a case to the Court of Appeal on 11 and 12 October to claim that BA's reduction of crew levels was a breach of contract.
