A RAIL union has won its appeal over the injunction which prevented a 48-hour strike on the DLR in January.
The Court of Appeal today overturned the High Court ruling on behalf of operator Serco Docklands over a technical issue with the ballot process.
Secretary of the RMT union Bob Crow said: “This judgment is not only a victory for staff on Serco Docklands and RMT’s 80,000 members but it is also a massive victory for the seven million trade unionists in the UK.”
Serco managing director David Stretch said: “Irrespective of the legal process we have continued to work with the union and have made significant progress on all of the remaining issues.”
