Union vows to continue fees battle

The UK's largest union has pledged to continue a legal battle over the introduction of what it describes as "unfair and punitive" fees to be paid by workers wanting to bring tribunal proceedings against their employers.

Unison's vow to press on with the action came after it failed to persuade two judges at the High Court in London to quash what it argued was an "unlawful" order imposing fees for employment tribunals for the first time.
