A dispute between Ryanair and hundreds of its pilots could bring about a new route for trade union detriment claims, writes Charles Pigott, professional support lawyer, Mills & Reeve, in this week’s NLJ.
The Court of Appeal ruling in question concerned the ‘blacklisting regulations’. Pigott discusses the case and its potential implications for future disputes, as well as looking ahead to possible employment reforms underway courtesy of the current government.
He writes that the ruling ‘has opened a way for striking workers who have been subject to detrimental treatment because of their participation in official industrial action to recover compensation from their employers’.RELATED ARTICLES
