• Kelvin Central Buses of Motherwell, Scotland, is suing the Transport and General Workers' Union for 2250,000 damages, in what is believed to be the first case of its kind in Scotland.
The claim arises from a seven-week strike last spring over the dismissal of four shop stewards for alleged gross industrial misconduct.
The company alleges the strike ballot and union support of the strike were unlawful, and that Kelvin Central lost about 2200,000 a week as a result of the action which stopped it from operating services. The main disagreement between the two parties rests on the wording of a ballot paper.
A date is yet to be set for the hearing.
