Health and safety
01 October 2005
We acted in a multi-party action for a group of flight attendants who were suspended without pay after refusing on their doctor's advice to work on long-distance flights while pregnant. Their employer was a US airline. The airline attempted to rely on the protection afforded by US law, but the Tribunal took the view that the employment relationship as a whole was much more closely connected to Britain and the flight attendants had been the victims of unlawful sex discrimination.
